Human Trafficking
S924 legislation
Supported by LGA area Senator Ramos
Governor Kathy Hochul today
signed legislation that requires law enforcement
and district attorney's offices
to advise human trafficking victims of
the availability of social and legal services.
Upon encountering a person
who reasonably appears to be or says
they are a victim of human trafficking,
law enforcement personnel must advise
the victim of the availability of social
and legal services specific to human
trafficking cases. The agency will
offer to connect the victim with the appropriate
provider, unless the individual
declines the services.
"Human trafficking is a global epidemic
and we must do all we can to
end these horrible crimes here in New
York," Governor Hochul said. "It is not
enough to just put laws in place to prevent

trafficking -- we must prioritize
supporting survivors.
LaGuardia area Senator Jessica
Ramos said, "The time it takes for a
survivor of human trafficking to be connected
to essential resources - whether
it be mental health support, housing,
or healthcare- can make all the difference.
S249 ensures that Law Enforcement
and District Attorneys must prioritize
a person's immediate needs,
and connect them with someone who
speaks their language and is primarily
concerned with their wellbeing. The
kind of holistic intake envisioned by
Assemblymember Hevesi and my bill
moves best practices towards a focus
of care and safety, instead of potentially
deepening the trauma and fear
for survivors."
JetBlue Inflight Crewmembers
ratify inaugural contract
TWU Holiday Gift to JetBlue crew
JetBlue Inflight Crewmembers
(IFCs) decisively ratified their inaugural
contract with the Transport Workers
Union (TWU) successfully negotiating
a first contract is not an easy feat
to accomplish under ordinary circumstances,
but during a worldwide pandemic
amidst a skyrocketing uptick of
assaults against aviation workers, it is
truly impressive said TWU.
“This is a tremendous victory for
our 5,500 IFCs at JetBlue. There is
no greater security for workers then a
solid contract,” said TWU International
President John Samuelsen. “As of today,
our JetBlue Inflight Crewmembers
are no longer ‘at-will’ employees of the
carrier, but Union workers whose employment
is secured by an enforceable
collective bargaining agreement.”
“This is a fantastic ending to a difficult
fight. JetBlue IFCs will now enjoy all the
benefits of a Union contract,” said TWU
Air Division Director Gary Peterson.
