When a Westchester hotel changes ownership or management, NY Labor Law and union contracts generally require the incoming employer to retain the existing workforce for a transition period and consider them for permanent employment based on seniority.
While New York lacks a statewide hotel worker retention statute on the scale of Los Angeles, large unionized properties in Westchester operate under Hotel Trades Council successor agreements that mandate worker retention on sale. Even non-union hotels may fall under NY Labor Law Section 27-c protections during emergencies and the WARN Act for layoffs of 50 plus workers. The Westchester County Human Rights Commission can investigate complaints when retention disputes intersect with discrimination based on age or national origin under the County Anti-Discrimination Local Law.
Retention violations can support unfair labor practice charges, NY DOL wage actions, and back pay awards for terminated workers, alongside damages under federal WARN for inadequate notice.
