As an active and proud SEIU Nevada member, I wish the Sun reporters would do a better job of giving a more balanced view of who SEIU NV really is. We’ve made such huge gains over the last several years and proudly provide quality pubic services and patient care for our community. Not everyone knows about the good work SEIU NV members carry out on a day to day basis. We are some of the first people to greet Las Vegas’ millions of tourist. We work with foster children, fight to keep funding for our public hospital and provide housing for some of our most vulnerable populations.

We are about the business of improving the lives of working families and the quality of life for everyone in our community. I think it speaks volumes that two of our leaders stepped away from the work that they love doing most to allow our organization to have a new beginning and to continue moving forward.
