SPEECH - Labor Activist Push For New Job Protection Bill ‘Secure Jobs Act’ In New York

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 31: (SPEECH) Lisa Bernstein says she is speaking on “behalf of the employers of domestic workers” and in support of the new job protection bill as a coalition of worker-rights community-based organizations rally in downtown Manhattan’s City Hall Park calling on the NYC Council to pass the ‘Secure Jobs Act’ (intro 837) on May 31, 2023 in New York City. New York City's at-will employment system permits employers to terminate workers at will – without justification. INT 0837-2022, the “Secure Jobs Act,” was introduced by NYC Council Member Tiffany Cabán and would prohibit employers from terminating workers without just cause. (Footage by Tomas Abad/Getty Images)
