Isn't it ironic? In the same city, both Teamsters Locals are poorly run. How is it possible that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters could even attempt to claim their organizations are powerful? Do Clark County School District employees deserve to have to worry about their future while these pretenders crumble from within?
Local 631 Teeters on Brink of Trusteeship
Trusteeship on Hold
Internal Teamster Warfare out in Public
The answer is no. And District employees do not have to, should not have to, and will not have to as long as ESEA, CCEA, and NEA are around. The sheer amount of trainings and resources available through ESEA and CCEA are amazing.
More importantly, School District employees, you are the Union. You have Collective Bargaining, not collective begging. The same can not be said for the vast majority of State of Nevada Employees. The same goes for other city and county employees around the State.
As the saying goes, Democracy is not a spectator sport. Join ESEA, get involved. Every employee has a role to play in the workplace. The same goes for Union members. The use of your collective ideas can move forward your rights, respect, and dignity on the job. Doing nothing, gets you nothing. In these economic times, workers should be uniting, not dividing. Each of us has bills to pay, mortgage and otherwise.
Allowing Local 14 to divide and conquer your workplace does not solve your problems. It only makes them worse, harder to overcome and in the end more tiresome. Your energy and efforts should be focusing on the future. Use that which you have, a Union in the form of ESEA and CCEA and NEA, to build a bigger, better, and more powerful organization.
