Read the 83rd Legislative Session Report Here: https://t.co/LphVitxzDK

In June, the Nevada State AFL-CIO Executive Board convened to discuss, review, and ultimately approve this legislative report.

What was originally intended to be a legislative scorecard shifted into a broader report after several pro-labor bills that were expected to be included were ultimately blocked by legislative leadership.

While we secured important victories for Nevada’s working families, we must also acknowledge that legislative leadership blocked several critical labor priority bills - denying workers the protections, rights, and dignity they deserve.

Some of these pro-labor bills killed by legislative leadership include, but not limited to:

Assembly Bill 402 – Would have created a pilot program authorizing the use of automated traffic enforcement systems, such as speed cameras, in temporary work zones to improve safety. The bill aimed to reduce speeding and enhance protection for workers and drivers in construction and maintenance areas.

Senate Bill 172 – Would have extended existing labor protections to agricultural employees, including required rest and meal breaks and limits on the value of lodging and meals used to calculate wages. It would have also established the Agricultural Workers’ Bill of Rights, granting workers access to visitors and service providers, protections from harmful work practices, the right to organize, and legal remedies for violations.

Senate Bill 306 – Would have required the Division of Child and Family Services to create a task force to develop a program providing housing and services for children with emotional disturbances who cannot safely return home after discharge. It would have expanded the definition of “child with an emotional disturbance” and included certain state employees involved in child welfare as protected officers under assault and battery laws.

Senate Bill 395 – Would have required autonomous vehicles over 26,000 pounds, or those with more than two axles carrying eight or more passengers, to have a human operator with a commercial driver’s license present who could take manual control. These rules were set to take effect on October 1, 2025, with an initial 10-year expiration, later shortened to three years (ending September 30, 2028) as a compromise.

Today we had the pleasure of speaking at the @NVAFLCIO candidate training program. Students learned firsthand about the rigorous and thoughtful endorsement process they must go through to earn labor’s support, and what it truly means to stand with working families.

Yesterday we joined ULAN & the National Association of Letter Carriers to help #StampOutHunger with their annual food drive. 📫

Happy Black History Month from the Southern Nevada CLC!

The labor movement would not exist without the work of Black union members and leaders, and we honor them during the month of February, and year round.

Our Executive Secretary-Treasurer Beverly Williams, along with our union brothers & sisters, delivered #Thanksgiving food baskets to @VirginHotelsLV strikers as they continue to fight for a fair contract! Big thanks to UFCW for donating food to Virgin Strike Workers! #UnionStrong

IF WE DONT GET IT, SHUT IT DOWN🚨

It’s about damn time @VirginHotelsLV gives their workers the pay they deserve after offering a dismal increase during negotiations.

[Southern Nevada CLC @SNVCLC]

📣VEGAS IS A UNION TOWN📣

It’s time for @VirginHotelsLV to give their employees the pay they deserve. The Culinary Union will be on strike 24/7 until a fair and just contract is reached, and we’ll be right alongside them until they get it!

[Southern Nevada CLC @SNVCLC]

Yesterday we stood in solidarity with our Teamsters brothers and sisters in support of the Allegiant pilots, fighting for a fair contract!

Imagine working 10 years without a raise while Allegiant earns record profits year after year.

From the Southern Nevada CLC, we thank every veteran who has fought and served to protect our country.
