On January 8th & 9th Teamsters Local 492 hosted a 2016 Legislative Session training day for 8 NM Unions, over 100 Union Members showed up to learn about the upcoming fight to keep anti-worker legislation out of New Mexico. Unions from across NM attended including AFT, AFSCME, IATSE, IAM, IBEW, IBT, NEA, & UFCW.
These members learned the real reason RTW and other anti-worker bills are actually be pushed in NM and why out-of-state organizations like ALEC are pressuring local legislators to pass these bills they have created.
Speakers of note were State Senator Mimi Stewart and Rep Patricia Roybal Caballero who discussed the importance of getting involved and reaching out to your legislators to let them know you are against anti-worker bills like RTW.
On behalf of everyone that attended, Teamsters Local 492 would like to thank Michelle Mayorga & Chelsey Evans for organizing the event.
