Clark County management has ordered Martin Bassick, president of the Service Employees International Union Local 1107, to report for work at a county job in a move that reflects the county’s interpretation of a new state law concerning paid leave for union representatives.
The county’s human resources department notified Bassick in a letter Thursday to report at his county public works job at 8 a.m. Monday, according to correspondence obtained by the Review-Journal. The letter cites a bill that the Legislature passed this session and Gov. Brian Sandoval signed into law. An attorney for the SEIU, the county’s largest union, disputes the county’s interpretation of the law and has requested negotiations with the county to resolve the matter.
Bassick confirmed Monday that he reported to his job as a plans checker for public works as instructed, speaking to a Review-Journal reporter while on his lunch break.

County spokeswoman Stacey Welling declined to comment Monday.
