Above you will see Amy Cogswell, VP; Theresa Garley, Retired Member; and Sue Rivas, President, at Theresa's recent retirement party. She sent us a lovely card thanking Sue and I "for all that we do". We are so happy that Theresa is doing well and we do appreciate a remembrance from her.

Apr 2 Update: For our members who are involved in the current lay-offs, the priority placement process is about to come to an end. We still have members who have not made their decision to retire or seek employment. There are three or four people that have not yet been placed in other jobs or made their decision to retire. We do not have a bumping scheme at this time. Most of the displaced personnel have either been placed in other jobs or have retired with the lay-off allowance. When we have more information for you, we will post it here or you may call Amy (284-8620 or Sue (284-9303).
Some of our retirees or members about to retire might consider joining and participating in the New Mexico Alliance for Retired Americans. For more information, please call Emil Shaw, President, at 505-321-4603.
DON'T FORGET TO WEAR BLUE ON "BLUE MONDAY" TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR YOUR UNION!
Remember: "If you don't
like something, change it.
If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Don't complain."
