IT’S BEING PREDICTED THAT THOUSAND OF NEW MEXICO WORKERS WILL BE IMPACTED BY WEDNESDAY’S U-S SUPREME COURT DECISION TO STRIKE DOWN PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS BEING ALLOWED TO COLLECT MANDATORY FEES ON NON-UNION WORKERS IN WORK SITES COVERED BY COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE RULING COULD WEAKEN SOME OF NEW MEXICO’S PROMINENT UNIONS AND ENCOURAGE PRO-BUSINESS ADVOCATES WHO RALLIED FOR “RIGHT TO WORK” LAWS IN THE STATE.
CARTER BUNDY WITH THE AFSCME SAYS EVERYONE EARNING LESS THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR WILL BE AFFECTED.
