Anderson's questionnaire

Robin AndersonRobin Anderson filled out a questionnaire on the labor commissioner race.

The candidate for the Democratic nomination recently answered questions posed by the Progressive Democrats of North Carolina

In her response, she said she supports collective bargaining rights for state workers as outlined in a House bill, an increase in the minimum wage, tying the minimum wage to inflation, improve standards for seasonal agricultural workers, 

She also thinks the labor commissioner should help mediate a dispute at Smithfield Foods and condemned incumbent Cherie Berry's handling of the House of Raeford Farms poultry plants.

"This incumbent has failed by any measure. She has put appeasing the business community ahead of doing her duty to protect workers," she wrote. "She has refused to enforce the laws that are in place, and as a member of the Council of State she has voted against our future."
