Nail Salon Safety
Exploitation has no place in the state of New York. The rights of nail salon employees must be respected.
The statewide Enforcement Task Force has moved immediately to stop wage theft and prevent unsafe working conditions. We also introduced legislation and a comprehensive plan to protect workers and educate employers.
These changes will make New York’s workplace safety rules some of the toughest in the nation – ensuring that all nail salon employees are protected and treated fairly.
