NC Labor Movement Condemns GOP Plan to Rig Congressional Maps

"Instead of passing a state budget, paying workers who provide critical services to our families what they deserve, or protecting Medicaid and food assistance for seniors and kids, our General Assembly is playing political games to pay for presidential endorsements of its failed leadership. Their choices threaten to suppress the voices of voters in this state and the ability of workers to secure our freedom to thrive."
