    Thank you for writing this - there is so little labor news in NM Media.
    State officials always throw out a phrase like "department officials do not comment on pending litigation of personnel matters."
    They are only hiding their own wrongdoing.
    Obviously the employee, Mr Ramirez, has been going public on this (Bravo for you!, Phil) and it is the employee who decides (not the employer) if such issues can be made public. See the AFSCME contract Article 17, Section 2.

    How sad that this article still has not been published in the Gallup Independent or the Gallup Herald. Seems like somebody doesn't want the Mckinley County area people to pick up on this sad situation that has happened to Phillip and his family. This is not how a place of employment should treat their servicemen and their employees. I am surprised the TV news stations have not picked up on this. I pray for Phillip and his family see justice within our laws that will prohibit this from happening to anyone else. CYFD DEFENDENTS YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELFS FOR TREATING GOOD PEOPLE LIKE THIS.

    It is obvious the CYFD doesn't really care about family, they violated Phillips rights through the FMLA. Everyone who saw this happening and stood back and did nothing should be held accountable. Phillip has fought for our country, our rights, should'nt we fight for his? I say YES! Phillip needs to know that he has supporters out here, we need to stand together and assist this Serviceman and his Family.
