‼️ BEWARE: Today the NC Senate Ag committee is discussing to add Right-to-work for less law into the state constitution.
🤔 Why are electeds spending time on this while working people are suffering from low wages, high gas, food, & housing costs. Is there nothing better to do?

“I am tired of being short staffed, underpaid, & overworked at a quote unquote good job. Why do we have to work a 2nd job just to make ends meet while you’re giving the rich tax breaks. Where are our tax breaks & raises that we haven’t seen in 2 yrs? Join me on May 1 in Raleigh!”
