AFSCME members fought for and won major investments in state workers this year at the bargaining table and the legislative session.
These victories are made possible because of the years-long effort to win collective bargaining rights, our robust political mobilization, relentless advocacy, and all of us coming together as a union to fight for better pay, working conditions and improved state services.
Members of AFSCME Local 4041 filed two legal actions on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, against Governor Joe Lombardo for violating state employee collective bargaining rights, enshrined in state law as NRS 288.
This week our AFSCME Local 4041 Bargaining Team is in Carson City negotiating wages for our next contract. While this contract will only cover workers who are in certified bargaining units, what we accomplish at the bargaining table will affect wages for all state employees.
