Following a notable decision by the Arizona Supreme Court, Attorney General Kris Mayes has come forward to address the implications of the Gilmore v. Gallego ruling. In a letter directed at city and town leaders throughout Arizona, Mayes underscored the importance of cooperative relationships between public entities and employee unions. “I encourage cities and towns to work productively with employee unions to find solutions that foster strong relationships while ensuring compliance with Arizona s laws,” Mayes stated, according to theArizona Attorney General’s Office.
The Supreme Court s ruling, while casting doubt on certain release-time provisions, does not rule out all possibilities for such arrangements a nuance Mayes was quick to clarify. Her message to local governments is to continue to tirelessly search for labor solutions that uphold both the spirit of collectiveness and the letter of the law, as per theArizona Attorney General’s Office. This guidance comes amid concerns that the ruling could disrupt existing labor negotiations and agreements between public sector workers and employers.
In her communication, theAttorney Generalalso provided counsel to public entities and their legal teams. Mayes reminded them “to seek legal counsel to address any fact-specific questions and ensure their agreements adhere to Arizona law,” signaling the complexities involved in labor law and the careful navigation required.
