That's the description of the Local 1908 contract in an internal fire department email I have obtained and that was used in the recent arbitration case won by Clark County. And this: "If we could at least make the appearance of holding the contract in some regard, I would be appreciative."
In another email, a firefighter outlines his plan for taking some days off -- "all sick days if I can work it out...."
The names have been redacted. But the emails are astounding. Hello, FBI?
I have posted them at right:
disgusting
I can only assume these employees have been fired or at least charged with somehting?
Firefighters, you must purge these people fast or the public will turn on ALL of you. Hopefully, it is only 5% of you that are thieves (yes, they are STEALING public funds and doing it maliciously) but if you protect people who steal from me, ALL of you are in on it.
In this day of instant information let's see the annual individual salaries including OT of each fireman (no names) by station. It should be available for the tax paying public. This would give all of us a true picture of just how deep these salary scams are.
This is a disgusting disgrace.
And we need collective bargaining why?
Why is Steve Sisolak the only elected official in Clark County to take any action regarding this on-going theft?
It will be very interesting to see how much money LOCAL 1908 contributed to the very same politicians who continue to turn a blind eye to this crime.
Last month the Arizona Republic newspaper printed the salaries and NAMES of every City and County employee earning more than $100,000. The data is even searchable on their web site.
Ofcourse, the newspaper had to threaten to sue the City and County to get the information, because the City and County did not want anyone to know how much they were paying out.
Why don't either of the Las Vegas newspapers do the same public service for Nevadans?
The FBI needs to launch an investigation and Supeona all emails and documents. This confirms what many of us have already known for many years.
The Nevada salaries are available online, but I cannot remember the web address. The site was something like opennevada or opengovernment. If I can locate it again I will update this post.
It is widespread abuse. Stealing from the taxpayers.
Yes Mark Sherwood, why is Sisolak the only one going after this.
As for City, and NLV....everybody just keep your head in the sand....because its not going on there. Wake up Shari Buck.
I think the people need to demand this get looked into at all departments. Obviously the chief allowed this to happen, and should be fired immediately.
Wow!
strong reporting Jon.
I just hope Sisolak sticks to his guns (oops hope that doesn't offend too many liberals) and pursue having the FBI investigate these crooked firefighter "heroes".
hey!
where's tundra and HL9000 and just-use-your-head?
I can't wait for those local fire"fighter" clowns to show up and try to defend this!
