The North Carolina State AFL-CIO Carolina Labor School will be held at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington on July 14-19, 2013. New for 2013 is a 20% discount on tuition and fees for registered Labor School students aged 28 and younger.
Triangle Jobs with Justice would like to invite everyone to take part in a May Day 2013 celebration and mobilization in Raleigh, NC.
Faced with the grim reality of North Carolina politics, this Tax Day, the NC State AFL-CIO arranged for working people to get some quality escapism and, with it, one way to settle the score between the People and the Powerful – even if it had to be done outside the political arena and inside the ring!
Workers’ Memorial Day is an international day of remembrance for workers who have lost their lives on the job. Please join us outside the NC Department of Labor to call for safe jobs for North Carolina workers.
We are pleased to announce that the annual Spring labor history series sponsored by N.C. Triad Jobs with Justice returns for 2013! This year the theme will be “In the Current Crisis – The U.S. Labor Movement Fights Back!”
On April 20, 2013 – seventy years later – a coalition of labor, faith, and community members will unveil a commemorative state marker to celebrate tobacco Local 22 and the anniversary of their historic sit-down strike that sparked a wave of interracial union organizing in the Jim Crow South.
North Carolinians, tired of paying the costs for the lack of tax fairness – the root cause of austerity politics in Congress and tax changes on Jones Street – will finally get a chance to settle the score between the people and the powerful when champions for both sides face off at a public showdown on Bicentennial Mall at 12:30 PM on Monday, April 15th – Tax Day.
Letter carriers, other postal employees, and their families will rally in Charlotte and in Raleigh this Sunday against an unlawful edict by the Post Master General that would end Saturday mail delivery and add thousands more Americans to unemployment rolls at a time when our fragile economic recovery is not secured.
Join working families on March 20 for a national day of actions, at rallies and press conferences, to demand Congress repeal the sequester and work for solutions that work for working people.
On Monday, March 18, faith leaders, theologians, divinity students, and advocates will join together for a discussion at Wake Forest University on “Faith, Fairness & Taxes.” It’s open to the public, and lunch will be provided – BUT you’ve gotta RSVP!
The National Association of Letter Carriers is taking action to rally support to save America’s Postal Service and Saturday delivery with rallies in Raleigh and Charlotte on Sunday, March 24. There are over 35,000 good-paying, union jobs at stake.
After tobacco farmworker advocates rallied outside the corporate headquarters of The Pantry, Inc. in Cary, NC, today, asking that company’s CEO to keep up the pressure on Reynolds to do right by its tobacco field workers, our campaign for justice will continue with other actions this month and beyond.
FLOC, the union of farmworkers in North Carolina, will rally in Cary, NC on March 1 and deliver a letter to the CEO of the Pantry, Inc. to urge that company to pressure Reynolds American to ensure the labor rights of farmworkers are respected.
We hope you will join one of these actions next week – either the in-person meetings or by at least making some phone calls. We are going to keep this up until Congress finally gets the message – work for the good of ALL of your constituents and not Wall Street or just the wealthy.
On Tuesday, February 19 at 7 PM, we will join with Common Cause, North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE), the Sierra Club, Progress NC Action, and the Raleigh-Wake MoveOn Council to air the Bill Moyers documentary, United States of ALEC, followed by a panel discussion led by the national president of Common Cause, Bob Edgar.
