LABOR LAWS
New Mexico law respects a valid written agreement requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment. Generally in the United States, "union shop" provisions requiring membership in a union after 30 days' employment are common. These provisions are authorized under the National Labor Relations Act so long as a company operates in a state that does not have a right-to-work law. Cooperative relationships between labor and management have preserved New Mexico's reputation as a labor-peace state.

NEW MEXICO CHILD GUIDELINES
School-age children in New Mexico may be employed by production companies under special guidelines. Employment of a child under the age of 16 requires the child to obtain a work permit certificate either from designated school officials or from the Department of Labor when school is not in session. It is the responsibility of the production company to keep the work permit certificates on file and to keep a list posted of all children working there.
