NY Lab L § 720 (2021)
2021 New York Laws LAB - Labor Article 20-A - Labor and Management Improper Practices Act 720 - Findings and Policy.

§ 720. Findings and policy. The rights of employees to organize and to   bargain  collectively  through labor organizations of their own choosing   have been affirmatively protected by the constitution  and  statutes  of   this  state  and  by  parallel federal laws. Encouraged by these laws, a   substantial proportion of  the  employees  in  this  state  have  become   members  of,  and contribute financially to, labor organizations for the   purpose of bargaining collectively with their employers concerning wages   and other conditions of employment. To the officers and agents of  their   labor  organizations, these employees have entrusted their funds and the   power to act in their behalf in achieving the purposes  of  their  labor   organizations.Experience has shown instances where officers and agents of some labor   organizations have abused their positions of fiduciary responsibility.Experience  has also shown instances in which some employers, employer   organizations and labor relations consultants have  participated  in  or   induced  such  abuses of fiduciary responsibility by officers and agents   of such labor organizations.Responsible leaders of the labor movement have recognized  that  union   officers  and  agents  have a fiduciary duty to serve the members of the   union honestly and faithfully, and these leaders have  taken  courageous   action against those who have violated their trust. Experience, however,   has  shown that labor's efforts to correct abuses from within need to be   aided and supplemented by legislation.Such abuses have had a harmful effect on the general  welfare,  health   and  safety  of  employees  and  the  public.  Accordingly, it is hereby   declared to be the public policy of the state of New York that  officers   and  agents  of  a  labor  organization  shall  be  held  to a fiduciary   obligation in  handling  the  labor  organization's  assets;  that  such   officers   and  agents  shall  not  acquire  financial  interests  which   interfere or tend to interfere with the faithful  performance  of  their   responsibility  to  the  labor  organization; and that such officers and   agents shall account fully to the members of such labor organization for   all assets and financial transactions. It is hereby further declared  to   be  the  public policy of the state of New York that employers, employer   organizations, labor relations consultants and other persons  shall  not   participate  in  or  induce  violations  of such fiduciary obligation by   officers and agents of labor organizations.
