Via NY Post:
Two City Council bills that seek stiff regulations to how fast-food restaurants can fire employees were blasted by the business community Tuesday as a “sucker punch” to the COVID-19-ravaged restaurant industry.
“As we rally to save our restaurants, fight to prevent another full-scale shutdown of the economy and push for a federal aid package, the New York City Council sucker punches the business community by pushing this legislation through,” Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Randy Peers railed at an afternoon press conference.
“This is the ultimate expression of how disconnected the City Council is from the reality the small businesses are facing today.”
The bills, which the Committee on Civil Service and Labor voted through 5-1 Tuesday, would bar fast-food establishments from firing workers without just cause and require new staff to be canned before tenured workers if layoffs are necessary.
