In Las Vegas-area Clark County, over 18,000 teachers are preparing to strike. The teachers are upset that money set aside by the state to give teachers significant raises isn’t being used for that purpose.
Since teachers are not allowed to strike in Nevada, formal dates have yet to be set for a strike. However, teachers say they are prepared to begin engaging in walkouts unless something is done.
Teachers say they are refusing to work overtime until the situation is resolved. They are now asking that Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo intervene to resolve the dispute.
“It is reflective of a statewide problem right now. We have a crisis of vacancies, and it is not being addressed. The governor and the legislature passed money to address that, and it is not happening,” Clark County Education Association President John Vellardita told KTNV. “So we are asking for that intervention.”

Well, from the capitalists perspective it worked for the railroad strike
For now.
The whole labor relations board exists because strikes got brutal and bloody in the past.
If all strikes are illegal then violent strikes are on the horizon if history is any measure.
So it worked for them this time (they still had to make some tiny concessions, nowhere near enough).
