For the past three days, hundreds of Durham, North Carolina sanitation workers did not load their work trucks to protest low pay. These workers are standing up for all working people in Durham, across NC, and the US South.
This fundraiser is to help cover the salaries of those workers that did not have sick or vacation time they could use to cover those days off work. There are several temporary workers that have no sick or vacation time, that took the stand. There are new employees and others with chronic health conditions that also do not have leave time. These workers stood up for us, now we must stand with them.
More information, as well as links to a video of the workers standing down and other ways to support them is available on the UE Local 150 website.
