Good morning, Members. There have been some delays in moving forward with the ratification of the updated collective bargaining agreement. As a result, ratification night at Bathtub will be postponed.

However, Jacob Wadlington, a member of the Executive Board, and negotiation team will still be present to inform anyone who may have missed this update and to answer any questions

We’re excited to announce that negotiations for our collective bargaining agreement have been completed and the agreement is now ready for ratification.

To learn more about the proposed changes and cast your vote, join us for an informational gathering at Bathtub Row Brewery on April 17th from 4:00–7:00 PM. We encourage everyone to attend, ask questions, and participate in this important step.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Brian Easton, former LAFSE president, vice-president, and lead negotiator on our collective bargaining team. Brian was injured in a traffic accident in the Mountain area this morning and is receiving treatment at the University of New Mexico hospital in Albuquerque.

Good news for LAPS staff!

This morning, the House Taxation and Revenue Committee unanimously adopted an amendment to Senate Bill 151 that would restore approximately $75 million in funding for raises for state and educational workers!

This is a huge win for public sector workers in New Mexico that represents more than the monetary value of a 1% raise – it is proof that when we stand together, shoulder to shoulder, workers can win.

Senate Bill 151 now heads to the full House of Representatives for final approval and then to the State Senate for concurrence before being sent to the Governor for her signature or veto.

"Anything less [than restoring the budgeted raises] risks long-term damage to the public services New Mexicans rely on and sends a message that commitment and hard work are optional in public service. That is a message our state cannot afford to send."

Late at night, with little warning and even less debate, a decision was made that sent a clear and troubling message to New Mexico’s public workforce: your work is expendable.
