Commissioner Block read a statement that you can listen to here: Sandoval County Commission – Right to Work Ordinance (starts 6 minutes into meeting). He discussed the dire unemployment situation in New Mexico and why a Right to Work ordinance would help. Commissioner Block also shared information about an individual being forced to sign a union membership card in order to continue employment at a Sandoval County school.
It’s a sad situation when someone is forced to pay union dues against their will. Because New Mexico is not a Right to Work state, most will pay the forced dues out of fear of losing their job. New Mexicans overwhelming want choice and the choice to pay union dues or not is an important one.
