We are honored and excited to welcome Albuquerque Community Safety (ACS) to CWA Local 7076! ACS is our newest bargaining unit, they are part of the City of Albuquerque’s public safety response system. Their team responds to 911 calls for mental health, substance use, and homelessness issues. They offer professional behavioral health services and de-escalate crises involving individuals who are experiencing mental health emergencies and link them to appropriate services in the community.
They fought a long battle to get their contract approved, facing opposition from Albuquerque Mayor Timothy Keller, Albuquerque Chief Administrative Officer Lawrence Rael, and even other Unions.
It would mean a lot to them to hear from other members of CWA Local 7076.
