Another Great Union Win To Report Today: Thousands Of Nevada State Employees Are Getting Robust And Much-Needed Wage Increases!

Another union win, and another AFSCME victory, to report today:

LAS VEGAS – Thanks to the union they formed through the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), thousands of Nevada state employees are getting robust and much-needed wage increases.

On July 1, which marks the start of the fiscal year 2025 for Nevada state government, the workers got an 11% wage increase.

Members of AFSCME Local 4041 secured the largest wage increases during the 2023 legislative session due to their work at the bargaining table and advocacy at the legislature. Electing pro-worker legislators is an important part of ensuring state workers get the respect they deserve and resources to provide the best services to all Nevadans.

This year’s 11% wage increase follows last year’s 12% for state workers not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and 13% for state workers covered by AFSCME’s collective bargaining agreement. Since winning collective bargaining rights in 2019, AFSCME members have won more than 30% in wage increases for state workers.

And that’s the difference a union makes.

Local 4041 members thank pro-worker champions in the legislature, including Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager, Assembly Ways and Means Chairwoman Daniele Monroe-Moreno and Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, for their strong support of Nevada state employees.
