Safe Staffing ( Good News)
Jan 09, 2015

 

 
Good News!
I am pleased to announce that HB445 Safe Staffing 2013 passed the Health, Government, and Indian Affairs committee today with a 6-5 vote split down party lines. The legislators asked hard questions but our expert witness, Diane Spencer, RN, had all the right answers. Next, HB445 goes to the judicial committee. The time is still not known but we will get the date and time out as soon as the hearing is scheduled.
In the meantime, we must continue to move forward with our plan. There are a number of things that you can do to help us.
1.     Volunteer to spend a couple of hours at the roundhouse speaking with legislators this week.  We will send you with someone who has done this before until you feel comfortable. Wear your uniform and bring a stethoscope. Please call Mary Maes at 983-6716 to schedule a time.
 
2.     Call or email members of the Judiciary Committee. Let them know why you support HB445. Go to the District1199NM website nmhospitalworkersunion.com for literature with talking points.
