ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - New Mexico's largest public employee union is suing for the removal of names and salaries from a state-run online database.
The Albuquerque Journal ( http://bit.ly/LgrhJw ) reports the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 18 filed a lawsuit in state District Court in Albuquerque this week.
The group is arguing Gov. Susana Martinez's administration violated state law by adding employee information from the state's Sunshine Portal.
A spokesman for the Republican governor said Thursday the state has the authority to post workers' names and pay.
An attorney representing the AFSCME says portal law protects rank-and-file state employees from having their names associated with their salaries.
Martinez announced in October that names and salaries of all state workers would be posted.
