NEW YORK – Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris, Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz, and a broad coalition of unions, industry associations, workers, and small business owners will hold a press conference to celebrate the State Senate’s expected passage of the 21st Century Anti-Trust Act and to call for an Assembly vote before the legislative session concludes at the end of the week. The press conference will be today, Monday, June 7, at 11:30 am. Register here.
The first-in-the-nation legislation is bringing together a unique coalition of labor and business to update century-old antitrust laws and rein in powerful corporations that are driving down wages and stifling competition. The closely-watched vote on the New York legislation is helping build momentum for similar action at the federal level.
