Durham city workers rally for fair wages on Martin Luther King Jr. Day: 'Struggle is still here'
It's been nearly 60 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated while supporting sanitation workers on strike in Memphis. Yet, city workers in Durham have said they are still fighting the same fight.
Public works maintenance technician Vincent Daniels works two jobs and almost 80 hours a week to feed his family. Daniels is planning his wedding but told ABC11 a honeymoon is unlikely because he doesn't make enough.
"I have to drive Uber as soon as I get off work because I can't afford the bills I have," said Daniels. "If they raise wages they can get employees. We have half the workforce they did two years ago because everyone is leaving because the money is not there."
