Labor leaders appeared at New York's City Hall yesterday to condemn the law that bars strikes by public employees as unfair to workers and an impediment to collective bargaining. The Taylor Law, as it has been known since it took effect in 1967, has long been a thorn in the side of public employee unions. The law calls for punishing striking workers and resolving bargaining deadlocks with binding arbitration.
