ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. - City services in Elizabeth City came to a halt Tuesday morning after employees went on a strike.
“Me and my co-workers are tired of eating crumbs that fall off the table. We want to eat like city council eats," said Tommy Hopson, a city worker in Elizabeth City.
Hopson says he’s going on strike because he wants a pay raise for the job where he’s been for 18 years.
“I’m sure the citizens [are going to hear] what we talking about when they can’t get their trash picked up or they can’t get their lights turned on. I’m sure the citizens will hear us,” Hopson said.
