Abstract:
The article draws attention to the working conditions of some migrant workers in North Carolina. Some employers lure primarily homeless or drug addicted, African-American men with promises and keep them as indentured workers. If they attempt to leave the workers’ camps, they are often physically threatened. Abuses also include inadequate housing and below minimum wage pay. There is not enough oversight of these camps according to advocacy groups in North Carolina.

Abstract:
Food Lion is the fastest growing supermarket chain in the nation, but there is concern over how the company treats its workers. A lawsuit has been filed by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union over the company’s “unfair labor practices.” Employees interviewed are upset over long hours, no overtime pay, low wages, and a culture of fear. Questions are also being raised about the company’s profit sharing policy which benefits only one in ten employees and is perceived by many to have been the reason they are fired before they can collect the benefits. Food Lion refutes all claims.

Abstract:
North Carolina civil rights lawyer John Wheeler was an advocate for equal employment opportunity in government positions and the advancement of Black Americans. His work directly influenced national employment legislation, and Wheeler himself served on various state and national committees. Despite his involvement in national civil rights, Wheeler remains elusive in modern historical studies. This article discusses Wheeler’s background and career as a banker, lawyer, and civil rights advocate, emphasizing his contributions to the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity.
