Thanks to collective bargaining, it's impossible to stay fired in Clark County

It's possible to get fired, but after you're fired an arbitrator will reinstate you — with back pay — even while finding you manipulated the system for personal gain.

Behold the wonders of binding arbitration and collective bargaining.

Another Clark County firefighter fired last year over alleged sick leave abuse will get her job back.

An arbitrator ruled Friday that former Battalion Chief Renee Dillingham, who was fired after emails appeared to show her creating a special roster for sick leave, is to be reinstated with full back pay.

Arbitrator Frank Silver wrote, "Her role with responsibility for the rules was not significantly greater than that of other battalion chiefs. Because, in addition to her involvement of the overtime rules, she participated, with the approval of Deputy Chief (Kenneth) Morgan, in manipulating the sick leave rules to avoid presenting a certificate of illness." He added that she should receive a written warning.

I have maintained for a lot of years that NV is far too close to the DPRK. If I could sell my house and property I would get to He!! out of here, however almost nothing sells here anymore (Northern NV, 14% actual unemployment) so I would have to just walk away and lose a lot of equity among other things.
