As a baseline, staff are protected by labor law to organize and sign cards.

Staff should report any potential retaliatory activity to nyccouncilunion@gmail.com and the General Counsel’s office. Retaliation does not just mean job loss; it could look like obviously someone losing their job title, work location, tasks, schedule flexibility, or any other privileges that are taken away or changed due to real or perceived participation in union activity.
