UPDATE:
A commenter noticed that I had incorrectly said that North Carolina State Employees have collective bargaining rights.
They do not.
stand corrected.
It’s the same ‘ol story; The scorpion, needing passage across the steam, requests assistance from the frog. The frog, justifiably suspicious of the scorpion demurs only to receive the promise from the scorpion that he will not sting him.
The rest shall we say, is history.
But the story is proving to be a fantastic parallel in North Carolina in specific and the rest of the states in general.
