New effort to strengthen the bargaining power of NC employee unions
DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- It looked and sounded like an old-fashioned union rally in Durham Thursday night - which grabs your attention considering unions don't have a lot of political power in North Carolina.
This was an effort to turn that around.
In this sometimes raucous and pro-union crowd Bertha and Earl Bradley listened closely. This mother and son both work at Wendy's restaurants in Durham.
"$9.25 an hour," Earl Bradley revealed about his hourly wage.
