UNION GUILD INFORMATION
New Mexico law respects a valid written agreement requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment. Generally in the United States "union shop" provisions requiring membership in a union after 30 days' employment are common. These provisions are authorized under the National Labor Relations Act so long as a company operates in a state that does not have a right-to-work law. New Mexico does not have a right-to-work law. Cooperative relationships between labor and management have preserved New Mexico's reputation both as a labor-peace state as well as a "right to negotiate" state.
