APRIL 2, 2020: Carrie Kaufman talks to Review Journal reporter Michael Scott Davidson and SEIU Local 1107 Chief of Staff Michael Shepherd about a Clark County emergency order to suspend union contracts.
Health care workers are on the front lines of COVID 19. Especially at Clark County's one public hospital - University Medical Center.
Which is why it came as such a surprise when Clark County Manager Yolanda King told SEIU today that the County would be suspending all union contracts till the end of the emergency order.
This came as a surprise to Brian Shepherd, the chief of staff of SEIU in Southern Nevada. UMC employs over 4,000 University Medical Center workers, such as nurses and respiratory techs.
