Labor

It is the view of NPRI that unchecked union control over labor relations in Nevada is a threat both to liberty and to the state's business environment. The freedoms to employ and to be employed absent coercion are indispensable to sound labor policy. The Institute's mission on labor policy is to educate Nevada's citizens and its policy makers on the importance of safeguarding freedom in employer-employee relationships.
