According to organizers, the Save Our Jobs Coalition includes members from about 10 different unions with a combined membership of about 87,000 people.
The coalition represents workers in the hospitality, airport, entertainment, hospital, and trade industries.
Union members are asking the Clark County Commission to place a Right to Return ordinance on the Sept. 1 commissioner’s meeting agenda.
The ordinance would require employers to offer all workers who were laid off or furloughed the right to go back to work when their business reopens. The ordinance they’re hoping for would support union and non-union workers alike.
