"After Cherie Berry was elected labor commissioner in 2000, she came to office with a different approach. A former co-owner of a company that made spark plug wires, she had campaigned on a promise to make the Labor Department less intrusive. She summed up her political philosophy during the campaign with the quote: “The government that governs best governs least.” In response to a budget crunch, the discrimination bureau cut back on travel and training. This allowed it to retain staff, says Skip Easterly, who headed the office from the mid-1990s to 2006. The bureau began asking workers and employers to fill out written questionnaires instead of conducting in-person interviews. Investigations became less thorough. “Frequently I felt if I had some more dollars to put more people on the road, we could do a better job,” Easterly said. “… It seems like you get better information when you can look into the eyes of the person you're talking to.” The bureau's budget was about $618,000 in 2007, down nearly 25 percent since 1999, when adjusted for inflation. Of 12 complaints examined in-depth by the Observer, filed from 2002 to 2007, investigators dismissed four without interviewing the complaining workers. Labor officials say they give workers “every opportunity to present evidence supporting their claims.” Kathleen Sumner, a Greensboro lawyer who has represented thousands of injured workers over the past two decades, says she believes politics has weakened the employment discrimination bureau. She says investigators are hard-working and conscientious. But soon after Berry took office, she said, Easterly confided that he and his colleagues had been instructed to “back down” from aggressively pursuing REDA violations. Easterly told the Observer said he recalls no such mandate, though he acknowledged that budget cuts made it harder for his office to do its work. “They didn't say don't enforce the law,” he said. “They just didn't give me the money to enforce it.” Under Berry's leadership, the department has worked harder to negotiate with companies accused of retaliation. Settlements have increased from about 9 percent of all cases in 2000 to 14 percent in 2007. By streamlining the investigative process, labor officials say, the bureau has also managed to clear most of the case backlog. “Overall, our staff does a solid job enforcing REDA,” officials wrote in response to questions from the Observer. But critics say Berry's department has been less willing to stand up for workers. Today, when employers and workers don't reach settlements, the employment discrimination bureau sides with workers less than 1 percent of the time – down from 5 percent in 2000. The Labor Department has not taken a REDA case to court on behalf of a worker since 2001."

Cherie Berry says YES to WORKERS and NO to BIG LABOR

Quote :

" Dear Friends, In these tough economic times our businesses are under attack by Big Labor Unions. Legislation supported by my liberal, union backed opponent would take away our workers' basic right of a secret ballot election in Union Organizing. Even Liberal icon George McGovern denounced the legislation as a violation of workers' rights. Senator Barack Obama has said if elected this legislation would become the “law of the land”. My opponent has said that this legislation would be a good tool to organize North Carolina companies. Labor Unions – bad for business, bad for workers! Protect North Carolina's proud “Right to Work” history. Help me defeat this big union threat to our livelihoods. I ask you for your vote on Tuesday, November 4th! To help North Carolinians fully understand this threat to our businesses and workers, please share this message with your family and friends.

"Dear Friends, In today's uncertain economic times, good news is hard to come by. But several weeks ago, the N.C. Rate Bureau announced that it would be lowering worker's compensation rates for our businesses. Why? Because of fewer claims as a result of fewer workplace accidents. That's GOOD NEWS for business and workers. That also validates what I have been doing as your Commissioner of Labor. By partnering with the business community workplace injury/illness rates for the past seven years have been the lowest in the state's history and workplace fatalities are the lowest ever recorded. We have accomplished this by focusing on education and training. My liberal, union backed opponent prefers the opposite approach - more regulation and stiffer penalties, this is BAD NEWS for business and workers. I need your support in this upcoming election to continue our outstanding record of workplace safety and health.

I thank you for your support and look forward to serving you for yet another term! Cherie Berry"
