Susana Martinez and other politicians in Santa Fe have made it clear they want to pass an unfair and unnecessary “right to work” bill this legislative session. This legislation would silence the professional voices of workers including Teamsters, teachers, nurses, firefighters and police officers and cut pay and benefits for even non-union New Mexico workers.
SB 269 is scheduled for a hearing in Senate Public Affairs Committee (SPAC) on Tuesday afternoon/evening. The committee meeting starts at 1:30pm (or 30 min post floor session) in room 321. We don't have an exact time that they will get to SB 269, but we expect this will be a long, late hearing. There are a lot of contentious bills on the committee calendar for Tuesday. Please plan to join us if you can.
WHAT: Senate Public Affairs Committee Vote on SB296, so-called “right to work” bill
WHERE: NM State Capitol, Room 321
WHEN: Tuesday, February 9th at 1:30 PM*
If folks aren’t able to make it in person tomorrow, they can help spread the word and share our petition calling on the legislature to reject this deceptive and unnecessary bill!
