NC: Collective Bargaining Lobby Day 2010 - James Andrews Part 4

The drive to repeal our state's ban on public employee bargaining must begin with the determination of public employees, says James Andrews, President of the NC State AFL-CIO. As the famous organizer A. Philip Randolph said, "Salvation for a nation or class must come from within."

On Tuesday, June 15, 2010, supporters of public employees rallied outside the North Carolina General Assembly before lobbying lawmakers to repeal the ban on collective bargaining by public employees - GS95-98 - a Jim Crow law passed in 1959 that's still on the books.
