On Thursday, Southern Nevada Health District workers staged a protest in Las Vegas to advocate for higher pay and better benefits. These union-represented employees are on the front lines of public health in the community and are facing staffing shortages. Despite working through the challenging conditions of the pandemic and some even risking their health to provide essential services, these workers feel undervalued and undercompensated for their efforts.
Many protestors have had to work long hours and handle high levels of stress due to the pandemic. In addition, they are struggling to make ends meet due to rising inflation, which has made it difficult to keep and recruit new employees due to a wage gap. Some workers are even considering taking on second jobs just to cover expenses, as they find the cost of healthcare benefits too high.
When reached for comment on the protest, the Southern Nevada Health District stated that they are committed to working with staff towards a fair and equitable agreement. The workers hope that their voices will be heard and that positive changes will be made to improve their working conditions. They want to be compensated fairly for their hard work and dedication during this time of crisis.
