Catherwood, Martin P. (Martin Paul), 1904-1978. (original) (raw)

The New York State Joint Legislative Committee on the Taylor Law was appointed (1971) to study labor disputes involving public employees and, specifically, their right to strike.

In the fall of 1971, two years after a major New York teachers' strike, the New York legislature appointed a joint legislative committee to study proposed revisions of the Taylor Law which prohibited strikes by public employees.

The Committee consisted of Robert Helsby, Public Employment Relations Board; State Senators Theodore Day (chairman), Edward Lentol, John Flynn, Leon Giuffreda, Thomas Laverne, and Waldaba Stewart; and Assemblymen Stanley Herbst, Charles Jerabek, Chester Straub, and Clark C. Wemple. The Committee's staff was headed by Martin P. Catherwood.
