Northern Nevada Glazing Campaign

News update about the District Council Organizing Glazing Campaign on Capital Glass.

Over the past month organizers from all DC16 have been in action throughout the Northern Nevada area. Local 567 Organizer, Brother Chris Kimes, had finally kicked off the bottom-up campaign with the official filling of an NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) request to hold a vote to determine whether the employees working as glazing installers would have a chance to collectively bargain and be represented by our union.

On June 11^th the employees of Capital Voted and DC16 and Members of the Local 567 rallied in support and encouraged these employees to vote yes to unionize. A Yes vote would ultimately ensure better working conditions, dignity in the workplace, and a contract that would better their lives and the industry here in Northern Nevada.

Unfortunately, when the vote was finished and the ballots were counted, the vote failed to secure the 50% plus 1 vote margin needed to move forward. 

To all the organizers and volunteers that helped out with this campaign, local 567 cannot thank you enough for your hard work and continued effort to try to make this happen. This will not be the end, and we will continue to fight for these workers!
