Gov. Mike Easley urged Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry to fill vacant posts authorized by the legislature and help boost worker safety at poultry plants on one of his last days as governor. Shortly after his last Council of State meeting ended Tuesday morning, Easley approached Berry and spoke a few words. Berry's office declined to say what Easley said, or what she said in response, if anything. "That was a private conversation initiated by Gov. Easley," said Berry's spokesperson, Dolores Quesenberry, who suggested asking the governor what he said.
Easley spokesman Seth Effron asked the governor and said Easley said he told Berry, "Please fill these positions. These people (at the chicken plants) need your help."
Berry has come under fire for not doing more to boost worker safety at poultry plants and at other N.C. workplaces. She was reelected last fall to a third term as commissioner of labor.

I have an idea. How bout let's get all the illegal immigrants working in there out first, and give those jobs to hard working Americans who are looking for work? That, to me, should be a top priority, as well.
jason that idea makes no sense, the poultry companies dont want to pay a living wage to their workers, instead lets unionize the poultry plants and reqire a real I.D. to get a job there then the work will be done by americans and the money will stay in america and it will be a win-win situation for everyone but the chickens.
Thank you for sharing such a nice article.
