N.Y. Labor Law § 704-a: Unfair practices; performing arts

§ 704-a. Unfair practices; performing arts. It shall not be an unfair

labor practice for an employer engaged in the performing arts to make an

agreement with a labor organization, of which performing artists are

members, covering employees engaged in the performing arts, or who, upon

their employment, will be so engaged, because the majority status of

such labor organization has not been established under the provisions of

this article or because such agreement requires, as a condition of

employment, membership in such labor organization after the seventh day

following the beginning of such employment or the effective date of such

agreement, whichever is later. Nothing in this section shall be

construed as to bar any proceeding brought pursuant to section seven

hundred five of this article.
