Organizations that represent contractors and mayors in New York are urging Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to override a key construction law in New York for the Gateway Tunnel.
The groups the New York Conference of Mayors, the Associated General Contractors, the General Contractors Association of New York and the Minority & Women Contractors and Developers Association in the letter to Buttigieg released Wednesday urged him to tap into his department s regulatory power to supersede the measure.
Known as the Scaffold Law, the measure has long come under criticism from construction organizations and local governments for the burden placed on projects. The measure places liability for accidents on contractors and property owners for gravity-related injuries at job sites even if the accident is the fault of the worker.
