NC: Collective Bargaining Lobby Day 2010 - Rev Barber Part 1

Rev. William Barber, President of the NC chapter of the NAACP, speaking about the historical common cause of labor and civil rights - "two movements headed in the same direction."

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.
