Extends the authority of wage boards to consider minimum standards for benefits and working conditions; renames them as workers' boards.

The bill amends the labor law to expand the authority of wage boards, now called workers' boards, to consider minimum standards for benefits and working conditions. These boards will evaluate wages, benefits, and working conditions to ensure they meet adequate maintenance and health standards. The commissioner can appoint these boards to recommend changes to minimum wage, benefits, and working conditions. The bill also mandates training for workers on new standards and requires employers to certify worker training completion.
