Cryin' The Blues: City union files restraining order on wage raises, wants negotiating power back

9/20/2014


The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) filed a temporary restraining order Friday to petition Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry's decision to give raises to city employees.
The restraining order asks the judge to allow the raises to remain in effect, but to hold the city accountable for superseding the negotiation process for union workers.
AFSCME says it is happy with the raises, but the union wants to retain the right to proper negotiation and retaining the union contract.
It also says the union wants to continue with an arbitrator as a mediator, because it doesn't believe the mayor has the authority to dole out raises to union workers.
The restraining order will be processed by the city clerk Monday.
