PELRB to be Sued Again Soon? And What of the Albuquerque Labor Board?

Today I review events at the State and City of Albuquerque labor boards.

First, the PELRB met again today, this time to discuss the replacement of Juan B. Montoya, who had previously be re-hired in violation of the state anti-double dipping laws.  At the same meeting, the PELRB introduced their newest member, Roger Bartosiewicz, who replaced labor representative John Boyd, whose term ended in June of 2011, as I've written in a previous blog.

Albuquerque Labor Board Unable to Agree on Neutral Appointment

The City of Albuquerque's Labor Management Relations Board--currently comprised of the Labor and Management appointments, Justin Lesky and Barbara Stephenson respectively--met today at 9:00 a.m. at the Mesa Del Sol Building, but were unable to reach a decision on the neutral appointment.  The Labor rep is looking for a candidate with specific labor experience, while the Management rep appears to be looking for a candidate who has a track record representing both sides of the table in either labor or employment matters.
