Trouble has been brewing for some time, with union representatives, including Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge, detailing a nearly four-year-long standoff with these businesses over wages, health care, and pensions. Negotiations seem to have hit a wall, with workers reportedly earning $3 to $4 less per hour than their colleagues at the airport. Pappageorge emphasized the skill level of the union members as equal to those in other airport companies and noted the inadequacy of current proposals that included no wage increase until the following year. "Not paying the proper amount for a health plan or pension plans. So those are in danger, too," Pappageorge told the county commission, as obtained by FOX5 Vegas.
