Tell Your Senator to Oppose Additional Liability for Contractors!

Reach out to your State Senators today and tell them to oppose S.2766 (Ramos).

This bill would make a general contractor jointly and severally liable for unpaid wages, benefits, wage supplements, penalties, liquidated damages, attorneys fees or any other costs resulting from actions under Labor Law article six. General contractors would be liable for subcontractors and lower tiered subcontractors even when there is no direct privity of contract, and even if the GC was unaware of the subcontractor’s involvement in the project. This bill particularly squeezes small independent homebuilders and remodelers, and could potentially force them to pay twice for subcontractor services.

With a few simple steps, you can send a message to your New York State Senator using our online tools.
