     2  section 5-338 to read as follows:
     3    § 5-338. Conditions and preconditions of employment.  1.  As  used  in
     4  this section the following terms shall have the following meanings:
     5    (a) "Employer" means any person, either individual, corporation, part-
     6  nership,  agency,  or  firm,  that  employs an employee and includes any
     7  person, either individual, corporation, partnership,  agency,  or  firm,
     8  acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in relation
     9  to an employee; and
    10    (b)  "Employee"  means any person employed by or suffered or permitted
    11  to work for an employer.
    12    2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,  no  employer
    13  shall  require  as  a  condition  or precondition of employment that any
    14  employee or person seeking employment  waive,  arbitrate,  or  otherwise
    15  diminish  any  existing  or future claim, right, or benefit to which the
    16  employee or person seeking employment would otherwise be entitled  under
    17  any provision of any New York state or federal law.
    18    3.  The  provisions  of  this  section shall not apply to contracts or
    19  agreements negotiated with any labor union through  collective  bargain-
    20  ing.
    21    §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
    22  have become a law.
