About the Hearings

On Friday, February 28, 2020, New York State Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon convened a wage board with the following members:

• David Fisher, President of the New York Farm Bureau
• Denis Hughes, former President of the New York State AFL-CIO
• Brenda McDuffie, President of the Buffalo Urban League

Five public hearings have been held to hear testimony to consider the existing overtime work threshold for farm laborers and the extent to which the overtime work threshold may be lowered in New York State.
