It amazes me that this 'law' has not been successfully contested in court. It severely reduces the inherent power of a public service union, especially in a place like NYC. At the risk of being seen as a POV-biased editor here at Wikipedia, I still wish to say- keep up the good work, fellow union folk. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 11:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

It cuts both ways. People in municipal government in this state dislike the way it mandates certain benefit levels for unionized public employees, something they feel should be open to negotiation. Daniel Case 02:14, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

If they are "severely" limited in power, then why do they have the power that they do? Why does this article not talk about the powers that the taylor law GIVES public sector unions? (I know, I can do it myself, but I'm not as skilled as this as other wikipedians). A volunteer group CANNOT step in and do work that normally is being done by unions, even if it needs it. They can't legally clean up parts, or maintain snowmobile trails for example. Even when the city is not doing it themselves. 69.207.47.45 (talk) 10:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
