Corporate executives from NV Energy are failing to “walk the line” as they push for massive service cuts while fattening their pockets with record pay hikes – leaving the rest of us to pay more for much less.

This month, NV Energy announced they will eliminate electric line crew. These are the same dedicated workers who put themselves on the line to provide our neighborhood with safe and reliable power – regardless of whether it was the dead of night or dead of winter. This reckless move and the closure of every Nevada customer service office north of Las Vegas leaves our communities a more vulnerable place for our families by increasing power outage times and compromising public safety.

Corporate executives tell us that these cuts are necessary, even as we pay the highest electricity rates
of any mountain state. Yet, NV Energy:

- Reported profits of $180 million during the last quarter.

- Collected $134 million in federal bailout cash.

- Rewarded CEO Michael Yackira close to $4 million in compensation.
 

And now, NV Energy’s executives are turning their backs on over 600 retired NV Energy workers. Despite all earlier promises, NV Energy is taking away retirees’ hard-earned health care benefits during the most vulnerable time of their lives.

Call your representative and tell them that NV Energy is failing to walk the line:
