“The hard work and political power of ESEA and Teamsters 14 is what is pushing the District in the right direction on a host of issues,” said Fred Horvath, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters 14. “We fought hard to include every member of the bargaining unit.

Unions are leading the way in the use of newly available monies in the school district. Together, we are the biggest and loudest advocates for our schools, our students, and ourselves. ESEA and Teamsters 14 will continue to ensure that education support professionals in the Clark County School District, politically and at the bargaining table, come out of this pandemic stronger and even more united.
