Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Tuesday called for a federal investigation into Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) use of a family leave policy for striking correctional officers.

In a letter to Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Stefanik claimed Hochul was in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 in connection with the correction officer strike in New York earlier this year. She alleged the state required those employees with the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision who were striking be classified as absent without leave, which then led to their termination.
