I<U+2019>ve never heard such open talk among legislators about low pay for state employees. Everyone is hearing about vacancy rates and lack of services. We also have the most robust revenue in decades. The biggest <U+2753>for this session is how much to raise state employee pay. #ncpol

NC’s min wage is $7.25--hasn’t been raised since 2008--far below the est. $14.72 a single adult with no child needs for a living wage. #NCDems have filed HB612 & SB673 to raise the min wage to $15 by 2023 so no NC worker will have to live in poverty. #fightfor15 #LaborDay #ncpol https://t.co/geod0Km50i
Congrats to @hgargan for landing a post J.D. job at @selc_org. Theyre very lucky to have him and hes going to love it there.
Find me an employer who doesn<U+2019>t want their employees to be critical thinkers. You can<U+2019>t. Cc: Eric Adams https://t.co/B7UsXzhDId
RT @NCStateAFLCIO: NC lawmakers have introduced bills to repeal "right-to-work" and restore union contract rights to public workers! It com<U+2026>
TIL that injured workers have to pay a fee to have workers comp hearings. I asked why we would want NC workers to have to pay this out of pocket while also out of work? No one had an answer. Anyone here want to make a case for why we<U+2019>d proceed this way?
Companies are coming to North Carolina because they see promise here. But we must ensure a better minimum wage and stronger worker protections. Shamefully we current rank LAST in the nation for working conditions. We can and must do better. https://t.co/dqyM4swrPV
That<U+2019>s a pay cut when compared to inflation. If you can<U+2019>t keep your employees, your business is going to struggle. And that<U+2019>s where we<U+2019>re at. Record vacancies (Hello, DMV). Public safety risks (prisons). And teachers who are saints but miserable. #wecandobetter https://t.co/f0U5UHng10
I'm proud to have the endorsement of the hard working members of the AFL-CIO. I promise to continue to push for policies that increase wages, keep costs down & support working families to have great lives. And I absolutely believe that North Carolina should be a pro-union state. https://t.co/nVR0I0ymEB
We all want similar things. We want to take care of the people we love. We want to be healthy. We want good jobs & decent wages. We want our children to fulfill their potential & follow their dreams. Together, we can make that happen. #Graig4NC Join me: https://t.co/IFOtSswXt5 https://t.co/3xDl4o6Smz
