DC16 and SNBTU representing you!

Posted August 9, 2024

Brothers and Sisters, I hope this finds you well.

On Wednesday 7th, Southern Nevada Business Representatives, Organizers and other Leadership from Southern Nevada Building Trades were at Las Vegas City Hall, to speak in front of the city council because they have been awarded some projects to companies from out of town. That’s a low play because our members are sitting at home while non-union companies come here, work on these projects and leave nothing to the local members. A lot of apprentices from other Unions were present to let their voice heard, it is not ok, and we will continue to put pressure on the city council so they can sign community benefit agreements, which essentially will help our apprentices and our Unions to get these big jobs.

We’re going to need all the support we can, if you’re not working, please come and support and let them know that what they’re doing is not helping the locals. 

We will have more political presence and put pressure since it’s an election year. We will let you know when it’s our next event.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me.

My phone number is: (702) 403-0700
