We're looking forward to supporting HB 201 tomorrow in the House Ed. Committee! HB 201 would raise the min. wage for all K-12 non-licensed workers to $30,000, annually. These salary adjustments are long overdue for our hardworking classified school staff. #nmleg @unionwhitney

Unanimous committee support for HB 69! The Public Student Loan Forgiveness Act will more quickly discharge federal student loans by introducing a 4.35 multiplier that better calculates hours worked, reflecting time spent both in & out of the classroom by instructors HEIs. #nmleg

This is the perfect example of organizations coming together to support workers! ❤️
That’s why this multiplier is so critical and gets more service workers' student debt cancelled through PSLF. Go, New Mexico! Go #HB69! And thank you to @joyousgarratt, @aftnm, and so many others!

We support HB 84, the Employee Free Speech Act! HB 84 would protect employees from coercion & retaliation regarding participation in employer-mandated or endorsed political & religious activities & provides remedies for violations of the act by employers. #nmleg
