Advocates for immigrant workers in North Carolina have asked a Wake County court to compel the Department of Labor to reconsider its decision not to require additional COVID-19 protections for workers.
The move is a response to a letter the groups received from Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry on Nov. 9 stating that such action is outside her department’s authority.
