18,000 Las Vegas Teachers Prepare to Illegaly Walkout (paydayreport.com)

In Las Vegas-area Clark County, over 18,000 teachers are preparing to strike. The teachers are upset that money set aside by the state to give teachers significant raises isn’t being used for that purpose.

Since teachers are not allowed to strike in Nevada, formal dates have yet to be set for a strike. However, teachers say they are prepared to begin engaging in walkouts unless something is done.

Teachers say they are refusing to work overtime until the situation is resolved. They are now asking that Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo intervene to resolve the dispute.

“It is reflective of a statewide problem right now. We have a crisis of vacancies, and it is not being addressed. The governor and the legislature passed money to address that, and it is not happening,” Clark County Education Association President John Vellardita told KTNV. “So we are asking for that intervention.”

We need to give teachers union a Mech, a Metal Gear, a Gundam, a Titan, or an Armored Core. Really any form of bipedal super tank. I support all organizations of educators at every level, they are one of the few real jobs left. Give them all their demands, especially K-12 as they pretty much raise other peoples children from 6AM-7PM Monday and Friday plus weekends for grading. They literally contribute to social reproduction which is one of the fundamental pillars of society, they deserve whatever they demand
