 We had a big night in Santa Fe! Thank you to everyone who came out today and has helped us along the way. It's really been a team effort. Here is the update:
Right to Work: The Senate Public Affairs Committee (SPAC) heard SB 269, The Employee Preference Act (aka right to work) on Tuesday night. When the committee chair asked that everyone in the room opposed to the RTW bill to stand, the whole room stood up! Attached is a picture of the opposition to RTW standing in front of the committee. It's amazing!
Each side had 6 people speak to the committee about the effects of the bill. The first opposition speaker was Tim Crone from AFT. He delivered to the Committee the 4000 petition signatures we had gathered. The committee voted to table the bill (5-4). This essentially kills the bill. The fight isn't completely over yet, but this was a great night.
Prevailing Wage: A bad prevailing wage bill, HB200, passed the House (35-32) mostly along party lines and is headed to the Senate.
Lobby Day: UFCW had a lobby day today. They also delivered 112 letters from Working America to Senator Barela who is the newest member of the SPAC. Thank you letters where also delivered to Senator Campos.
