This Union Can’t Be Crushed
Posted On: Feb 07, 2025
Feb. 7, 2025 | MOBILIZING FOR POWER | Hundreds of low-wage workers from across the South gathered in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Feb. 1 for a “worker power” summit. The event was held on the first day of Black History Month and the 65th anniversary of the historic sit-in that occurred just a few miles away on Elm Street, where four Black North Carolina A&T students sat at a Woolworth’s counter and changed the course of history. Time and time again, the South has shown the world that it is nothing to play with, and in North Carolina, history is still being made. … In a region of the country where historically racist right-to-work laws and preemption laws silence low-wage service workers and keep them unprotected and mired in poverty, it is no easy feat to organize a multiracial, multigenerational labor movement. Yet, the movement continues to gain steam. Prism Reports
