To end inequality and white supremacy in Asheville, try labor unions | OPINION Jenny Andry and Andrew Paul, GUEST COLUMNIST © Angela Wilhelm/awilhelm@citizentimes.com Mission nurses and supporters listen during a rally supporting unionizing March 8, 2020. This fall, a historic event occurred in Asheville. Nurses at Mission Hospital voted overwhelmingly to unionize and join the National Nurses United. North Carolina has the second-lowest union member density in the United States. But the successful union drive at Mission may signal a sea change for the city’s future. Generations ago, labor unions were more common. From Seattle to New York, unions helped to standardize things that we take for granted today, such as 40-hour work weeks, minimum wages, safe working conditions, and employee benefits. After World War II, a relatively high rate of unionization is credited for the affluence of that period’s middle class.
