City of Las Vegas Housing Authority Ratifies Contract!

 When we started bargaining, we had three goals to achieve:
1. Maintain Economic Structure 2. No Takeaways 3. Language Improvements.

Now, after less than a month of bargaining sessions, we achieved our goals and reached a tentative agreement with management.

Some of the contract highlights include:
  • 4% COLA
  • Maintained Longevity and Current Health Insurance
  • Expedited Arbitrations
  • Now all vacancies will be posted internally first. 
  • Preservation of Rights if there is a regionalization of all housing authorities. Meaning if there is a regionalization, while we bargain a new contract, our current contract will remain in effect.

It's Crunch Time in Carson City

With only two weeks left in the 2009 Legislative Session, it's crunch time.

To date, we've seen a lot of posturing and tirades about public sector employees and retirement benefits and numerous articles in the local papers fed by the Chamber of Commerce. 

We knew when the session kicked off last January that a 'protect and defend' mode would have to be sustained throughout, so that's exactly what we've done.  We've kept a real presence of SEIU members at the Capital sharing their personal stories and setting the record straight about PERS with Legislators.

Now, as the Legislative Session winds down, we need to pay close attention to any shenanigans that may or may not take place in regards to the budget and other vital issues. We will keep our guard up and members need to be ready to react if needed. Stay tuned for more updates.

Update on Housing Regionalization

On April 28, 2009, a Town Hall Meeting was held to discuss the Regionalization of the Local Housing Authorities.

This community meeting was hosted by Clark County Commissioners Chris Giunchigliani, District E and Lawrence Weekly, District D.

Several employees attended and asked questions about the bill that has passed in the Nevada Assembly and now sits with the Nevada Senate. We were updated on the process and the motivation behind the bill and the idea to regionalize.

Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani said she would like to form an Employee Work Group committee who will be tasked to evaluate the practices of each agency and try to formulate the best practices for the new Regional Housing Authority.

If you are interested in volunteering for this committee, please contact Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani at CHRISG@co.clark.nv.us.
