Stop attacks on Nevada teachers, nurses and others who keep our communities safe and strong

I urge you to oppose A.B. 280 and other bills before the legislature this session that attack the collective bargaining rights of firefighters, teachers, nurses and other public service workers who keep our communities strong and safe. These bills—being pushed by big corporations and special interest groups—would silence the rights of these everyday heroes to speak up for smaller class sizes, safe staffing levels at hospitals and better equipment to improve response times for fires.

This kind of legislation isn’t necessary and shouldn’t be a priority.

Why is this important?

Radical Republicans in Carson City are pushing multiple bills to silence the voices of teachers, firefighters, nurses and other public service workers who keep our communities safe and strong.

A.B. 280 and other bills would take away collective bargaining rights for these everyday heroes, making it harder for them to advocate for smaller class sizes, safer staffing levels at hospitals and better equipment to improve response times for fires.

This kind of legislation isn’t necessary and it isn’t something that Nevada’s voters asked for. Similar laws are being promoted all over the country by a well-coordinated network of big corporations and special interest groups. These are the same groups that favor the downsizing, outsourcing and privatization of government services and oppose equal pay for equal work among men and women.

Sign the petition to tell our legislators to oppose bill A.B. 280 and any other laws that would silence the voices of firefighters, teachers, nurses and other workers to speak out to keep our communities safe.
