Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO STATE AUTHORITY UNDER THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT; ALLOWING UNION MEMBERSHIP TO BE REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT; ESTABLISHING THAT THE STATE HAS EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO PROHIBIT UNION SECURITY AGREEMENTS.
AI Summary
This bill allows for union membership to be required as a condition of employment in New Mexico to the full extent permitted under federal law. It gives the state exclusive jurisdiction to prohibit such "union security agreements", and prevents cities, counties, and other political subdivisions from adopting any laws or regulations that would prohibit these agreements. The purpose of the bill is for the state to exercise the limited authority reserved to states under Section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act, which allows states to pass "right-to-work" laws that prohibit making union membership a condition of employment.
