Make Your Voice Heard!
GAAR & CARNM are working with other business organizations to stop the Premium Pay and Paid Sick Leave Ordinances set for vote on Monday, June 29th at the Albuquerque City Council Meeting.
These ordinances would force Albuquerque businesses to pay significant dollars at a time when they are struggling to stay open resulting in more business closures and lost jobs!
Tell City Councilors to vote NO to O-25 & O-26!
