Court Orders New Union Election for Nevada Support Employees
They’ve been at it for years, but Teamsters Local 14 in Nevada will get another opportunity to wrest representation of some 10,000 education support employees from their current NEA-affiliated union.
The Nevada Supreme Court ordered a new election, after the previous one in May 2006 resulted in a substantial Teamsters victory, only to be awarded to the incumbent NEA local because the Teamsters won a majority of those who voted, but not of the full bargaining unit. Only about half of those eligible cast a ballot.
Certainly some of the momentum has gone out of the Teamsters’ drive in the intervening years, but should they succeed, it would be a severe blow to NEA in Nevada.
