Ever since I was 16 and that for several decades back when the minimum was $3.25, the minimum wage is set by the state and not a city.
The NC Dept of Labor constitutes a uniform standard for wages, overtimes and breaks under the 'N.C. Wage and Hour Act'
If you want to change for increase contact your representative or work for then ask the employer for a raise. The way it should be, employer competes for a wage increase to keep its staff.
This helps to provide consistency, Nothing in HB2 is anything new, just clarifies what is already law.
There are people out there that are stating, that this law wipes out every anti-discrimination act ever passed in the state, including anti-discrimination against minorities, gender and religious views.

#HB2 also eliminated state law against firing people bc of race/gender/religion. Now NC and Miss are only ones in that boat. #WeAreNotThis
There is no way that is actually true. If it is, then wow.

You think you have seen the worst and then they do something worse than they have done already.
If corporate America has a problem with men using men's restrooms and women using women's restrooms, then I have a problem with them. And I don't care if they never come anywhere near our state. We certainly didn't need a rule telling us men are women and women are men. No wonder children get so confused these days. They have to be around too many crazy adults.
Of course you don't care if companies leave & take their jobs. You are retired & it doesn't have a direct effect on you, but it could have an effect on your children.
This makes NC look horrible. What's happening to this state politically?
This is the fallout to be expected from the 2010 elections when the General Assembly went from basically middle-of-the-road, to holy roller, slightly to the right of Attila the Hun - crazy! NC went from slightly progressive New South viewpoint to a bringing-up-the-rear state in terms of social progress.

I guess it would depend they are municipal or not.
I like Jeff Jackson, I follow him on Facebook, unfortunately I'm not his district but hope he will run for Governor in 2020 he seems to really care about Nort Carolina.
Many of Charlotte’s top employers, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, already have LGBT protections in place for their employees, said Chad Sevearance, president of the Charlotte Business Guild, an LGBT-founded business group and part of the coalition that originally proposed the ordinance.
I'm sick to death of all these bought-off, faux-Christian, straight (or closeted) white men trying to destroy equality in this nation: anti-lgbt, voter suppression, environmental toxification, destruction of public education . . . ad nauseum. As for all the fearful little people who are terrified of trans-gendered "predators": you seriously need counseling. I'm guessing that the statistical probability of a transgendered person attacking a woman or a child in a restroom is astronomically lower than the statistical probability of a straight white male doing so. What makes all you people so hateful and fearful? It's just depressing.
You're so right let's let the safety of vulnerable boys and girls be sacrificed in the name of 'equality'. Pathetic.
What are you talking about? Transgendered women aren't predators. What in the world would give you that idea? This is simply fear that stems from ignorance. If anything, allowing transgendered women the option to use women's restrooms protects THEM from the significantly higher probability of being attacked by some macho lunatic they might encounter in the MEN'S restroom.
OK, who really cares about this at all. It is a non-issue. Ever been to Starbucks. Everyone uses the same bathroom. Been to a college lately. This is an issue that riles up older conservative people. Young people could care less.
No kidding. I teach college and this generation of college kids are appalled by not only the hateful ignorance of the conservative older generation, but also by their creepy obsession with other people's sexual identities/lives.
But hey, what better way for these folks to get re-elected than by ginning up the fear-baiting, pre-election? They know that they can always count on their base to whip itself into a frenzy over the newest bogey-man and rush to the polls to protect . . . well, it's not really clear what they think they're protecting. Saw the same thing during the Civil Rights era, during the height of the feminist movement, etc. Same old, same old.
