Attorney General Aaron Ford (D) said in previously unreported comments during a podcast interview that if elected governor, he would be “getting rid of” Nevada’s long-standing “right-to-work” law, which prohibits labor unions and employers from requiring union membership for employment but has been criticized for allowing non-dues-paying workers to “freeload” off union-won benefits.
Ford, the Democratic favorite challenging Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) in Nevada’s upcoming gubernatorial election, said during a 53-minute interview on a podcast hosted by construction worker union leaders that he would sign a repeal of the law enacted by voter initiative in 1953.
“The moment you send it to me — first term, I ain’t waiting,” Ford said during the GangboX podcast last December.
