We’re ready for a voice on the job!

With a unified voice on the job, we can improve our working conditions by addressing issues like safety, wages, and overtime without sacrificing the important services Nevadans need.

11% Wage Increase – Starting July 1!

AFSCME members secured the largest wage increases during the 2023 legislative session due to our work at the bargaining table and advocacy at the legislature.

Nevada State Employees File for AFSCME Union Election

Workers at Nevada DMV, Welfare, and other state agencies file for an election to name AFSCME as exclusive representative

Finally, a seat at the table for Nevada state workers

“This is historic,” said Harry Schiffman, an electrician at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and president of AFSCME Local 4041. “After years of fighting for our right to have our voices heard, we are underway, working on our first contract that will set the foundation for changes to how state workers are treated and how we have a say in state services, our working conditions and our lives.”

Local 4041 Votes 2020!

This election, public services are on the ballot! The state legislators we vote for will decide how our jobs and the services we provide are funded in 2021. Local 4041 has endorsed incumbent state legislators who have been champions for public service workers and our collective bargaining rights, as well as new candidates who we know will support public service workers when the legislative session begins in February

DMV Staff - We Can't Get Left Behind!

In the coming months, we will be negotiating our very first contract with the state under the collective bargaining law that AFSCME members won in 2019. But before we can do that, we must get our bargaining units certified to negotiate. To get our bargaining unit certified, we need DMV staff to sign an authorization card!

Don’t lose your chance in having a say!

Make sure your bargaining unit certified by signing an authorization card – a card that allows you to join in solidarity with your co-workers and authorize your bargaining unit to negotiate as AFSCME.

My experience with COVID-19, and why workers need a say in workplace safety

My name is Gwyn Davies, I am a compliance investigator for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles and a member of AFSCME Local 4041. I am also a COVID-19 survivor.

This is the AFSCME Difference!

Nevada state workers stood together and spoke up, the legislature listened and the governor came back to negotiate with us over changes to our working conditions. We came to agreement on reinstating merit pay, reducing furloughs to six days a year and protecting an additional 28 workers from layoffs. This is worker power. This is the union difference.

State workers demand that budget crisis not be put on backs of workers

According to AFSCME Local 4041, the Sisolak administration agreed to the meeting only after members mobilized to have their voice heard through petitions and rallies, and demanded to bargain and ultimately filed an Unfair Labor Practice claim against the state.

Workers rally in person and online to demand a say!

Today, hundreds of state employees, family members and supporters gathered at the Nevada State Business Center in Las Vegas, the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City, and online on Facebook Live, to demand Governor Sisolak meet his obligation to workers under the state’s collective bargaining law.
