2022 NV Governor's race: on Jobs


Joe Lombardo: Critical of state's use of project labor agreements

Lombardo was critical of the Sisolak administration's use of project labor agreements (PLA) -- which function as agreements between building trade unions and contractors setting terms and conditions of employment -- on affordable housing projects. Led by the treasurer's office, the state has a partnership with the AFL-CIO, a large consortium of unions, and the state infrastructure bank to help fund new housing developments that include the planned use of PLAs.

Joe Lombardo: Everyone should have equal opportunity, union or not

Lombardo said he was a proponent of unions. "I support collective bargaining. I support unionization," he said. "But the playing field has to be level. Everybody has to have equal opportunity to enter into the commerce section of the economy equally, no matter if they're union or not."

Michele Fiore: Criticized for remarks about affirmative action

Niger Innis, a conservative activist who is black, said that Fiore's remarks came as she was expressing anger over Black Lives Matter protests that had turned violent and the shooting of a Las Vegas police officer that happened at a recent demonstration. She said that she was going to go after affirmative action, Innis said. "She says that 'If there's a job opening and my white ass is more qualified than somebody's black ass, then my white ass should get the job,'" he recounted.
