The Nevada Supreme Court ruled in favor of DCB client Southern Nevada Operating Engineers Trust by reversing the Labor Commissioner’s attempt to delete one of the Operating Engineers’ job classes (soils testers) from his list of jobs covered by state prevailing wage law. The Court agreed that the Commissioner was required to proceed by way of formal rulemaking instead of making an ad hoc decision (after an employer violated the previously-published wage order which had expressly included testers as a covered class).
