New York A00087 prohibits agreements between employers that restrict employee employment and allows for legal action against such agreements.

New York A00087, known as the "End Employer Collusion Act," amends the general obligations law to prohibit agreements between employers that restrict the current or future employment of any employee. Specifically, it voids any restrictive employment agreements included in franchise agreements that prevent franchisees from hiring employees or former employees of the franchisor or other franchisees. The bill allows individuals who were denied employment or otherwise harmed by such agreements to seek damages, including actual damages, punitive damages, and legal costs.
