Even Ed Alvarado, former Local 14 business agent, had had enough. Local 14 was not a good fit for teachers, and still isn't for support staff: In his own words, Ed had this to say:
"Teamsters 14 has had flat membership numbers for years. Their own Healthcare Trust Fund has had serious revenue shortfalls for most of this decade, continually “redefining” member benefits and even having to go to the membership for an additional payroll deduction of $100 a month to prop up the coffers of the Trust Fund to keep it from going broke."
And what do School District employees offer to Local 14? Again, Ed lays it out:
"Your dues revenue and healthcare premiums would help Local 14 more than anything that they could do to help you. The vast majority of their represented members work in blue collar, non-professional occupations. Local 14’s representatives, beginning with Mr. Mauger, don’t speak your language and they don’t share your values."
Spot on. Local 14 needs to step...on out of the picture.

"What is going on in the City of north Las Vegas is an example of what happens when you give concessions. Local 14 convinced it's Members to take cuts to save jobs and what happened? North Las Vegas still laid off Teamsters and plans on more lay offs and wants more concessions. The Members are mad and will get their revenge in the future".
