ON THE GRIND EP 5: NC HB 2..WHAT THE MEDIA ISN'T SAYING

In an emergency session held in the cover of a dark North Carolina night, the state legislature did more than tell you which bathrooms to use.

Did you know HB2 limits the ability to file an employment discrimination claim based on AGE, NATIONAL ORIGIN, HANDICAP, or RELIGION?

Did you know HB2 prevents the localities from enforcing increases in minimum wage at private businesses as well as paid sick leave?

Did you know this went from being a Bill to a Law in less than 24hrs?
