Nevada’s largest labor unions Culinary Union and SEIU 1107 to host a Labor Town Hall with Clark County District Attorney candidate Ozzie Fumo and North Las Vegas Mayoral candidate Pat Spearman 

Las Vegas, NV - Culinary Union and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1107 to host a Labor Town Hall with Clark County District Attorney candidate, Ozzie Fumo and North Las Vegas Mayoral candidate, Pat Spearman.

“We are proud to endorse elected officials and candidates who will fight to protect working families,” said Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union. “We need to elect candidates like Ozzie Fumo and Pat Spearman who will continue to champion issues important to workers. Next year, the Culinary Union will face the biggest contract fight we’ve ever had and we have a plan to win for workers, be unified, and continue to build worker power. Daily housekeeping, safer working conditions and workloads, a fair IRS TIP Allocation, reigning in inflation and high prices, and ensuring that working people can provide for their families and buy their first homes are all possible when we have candidates in office who will advocate for issues that are important to working families.”

“We need change at the Clark County District Attorney’s office and in the North Las Vegas Mayor’s office. As a two-term Assemblyman, Ozzie Fumo was a champion of unions and working families. As DA he is committed to reforming cash bail and holding the police accountable through independent investigations. Senator Spearman is a veteran, pastor, LGBTQ+ activist who is committed to racial and economic justice for all Nevadans, and has a record to prove it,” said Grace Vergara-Mactal, SEIU Local 1107 Executive Director. “These two candidates will deliver the change that we need at the Clark County DA’s office and the North Las Vegas City Hall.”
