Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court reversed the district court’s injunction ordering the City of Albuquerque to honor expired collective bargaining agreements, holding that the City’s labor‑management ordinance qualifies for grandfather status and is exempt from the PEBA’s evergreen provision. The Court relied on statutory construction and legislative intent, and noted a concurring opinion that cautioned the decision may be revisited pending higher‑court review.
