NC Public Service Workers Join Teachers' Protest

On November 7th and 10th, North Carolina's Public Service Workers' Union, UE Local 150, urged state health employees to call out of work, supporting teachers protesting the lack of a state budget and employee raises. The union, representing workers in all state-operated health facilities, aims to send a message to state leaders about the importance of public sector work and the need for a budget that reflects citizens' priorities. Despite potential repercussions, the union remains committed to standing in solidarity with teachers, demanding collective bargaining rights, a minimum wage of $25, improved job safety, and an end to a fear-based management culture.
