Albuquerque Mayor Berry is taking heat from the unions again. They feel entitled to take care of union business on the taxpayers’ dime. Needless to say, paying city workers to work on behalf of their union and not the people who are paying them (the taxpayers) is a bad idea, no matter how the union bosses try to spin it.
This will save taxpayers money and will make the City a less profitable victim for the unions that feed off of the rest of us. Tell Mayor Berry and your city councilor that you support their efforts! I’m sure the unions will be voicing their opinions.
How about NM becoming another, number 23, of the Right to Work States. In Right to Work states, economic growth is higher, by 40%, than in Non Right to Work States.
Perhaps take this one step further and follow the example of Nevada by not authorizing compulsory union dues and fees.
