Odds and ends from Thursday's legislative session
No big news from the floors of the House and Senate today. Speaker Hackney said that committee assignments were complete for the House but “not in publishable form.” He told the members to expect those to be announced on Monday night or Tuesday.
On the House floor today, Rep. Annie Mobley honored Rep. Alma Adams, a Greensboro Democrat. On Wednesday night, Adams got an award from the AFL-CIO for her work on the minimum wage increase that passed last year.

Now that committees are assigned, expect the fun and games to start spinning up next week and then really kick into gear the week after.

Has anyone determined if any AFL-CIO contracts in NC are tiered to the minimum wage and will union pay rates have to increase?

That's an interesting question to which I don't know the answer. Public sector employees by and large aren't part of unions around here - at least not in any form you'd recognize them.
I do know there's a pretty sizeable teamsters contingent in the Greensboro area, but I don't know what their contracts look like.
