New union accuses rival of bullying Clark County teachers

The new Clark County affiliate of the Nevada State Education Association is accusing its rival union of bullying and intimidating teachers to prevent them from dropping their membership.

The National Education Association of Southern Nevada (NEA-SN), which is fighting to represent Clark County School District educators, claims in a flyer posted on its website this week that the “failing” Clark County Education Association (CCEA) is resorting to “illegal tactics” to keep its members. It advises educators not to be deceived by the “desperate attempt to spread misinformation and falsehoods.”

The state affiliate was formed after the Clark County Education Association voted to separate from its parent Nevada State Education Association — and simultaneously the federal National Education Association — over concerns that those groups don’t represent Clark County educators adequately.

The battle between the two unions is heating up during the so-called drop period from July 1-15, when teachers can choose to end their membership in the CCEA.
