Supporting the Working Class
HB207: Remove Barriers to Labor Organizing
"Right to Work Laws" harm the working class, prevent workers from negotiating for better wages, and keep workers out of corporate decision making. HB207 would repeal North Carolina's "Right to Work" laws and the unnecessary hurdles to forming a union. On average, Right to Work States have 3% lower wages and 36% higher discrimination charges in comparison with non-RTW states. We support empowering the working class and, as a result, growing the middle class.
HB339: Economic Security Act
The Economic Security Act is an all-encompassing bill of legislation that would support working families in North Carolina. This bill would raise the minimum wage to a living wage, and includes other common sense policies like: paid sick leave, equal pay for equal work, family medical leave, reenacting the earned income tax credit and child tax credit, and more.
