Changes In Law To
Affect Duplin Employees
BY: CHARLES M. INGRAM
Mrs Elisabeth H. Gram, Ma
nger o( the North Carolina Etto
aJoyiMffi Seenrhy Com Jj^skw- "
Office in Kenansville, ann
ounced this week that recent
changes in North Carolina laws
governing minimum wage rates
and child Labor will affect many
workers in Duplin County. On
Sunday. September 2. 1973, the
new minimum wage rate of 1180
took effect in North Carolina.
This change was a result of
actions taken by the 1973 Gen
eral Assembly. Mrs. Gram
indicated that many people have
contacted her office for irform
ation on the current minimum
wage rate. She stated that
many workers have been under
the impression that the rate
would be increased to $2.00 by
the U. S. Congress Legis
lation to that effect has been
introduced but President Nixon
has indicated that he will ve
to it# Until such time as fe
deral increases come about.
North Carolinians will enjoy a
rate higher than the national
standard.
Mrs. Gram noted that many
employers and parents have ca
lled her office regarding Child
Labor Certificates, or workers
permits These are required by
the North Carolina General St
atutes of all workers under the
age of eighteen, and are av
ailable from the Department of
Social Services. Under the new
law, young people are respon
sible for obtaining the certi
ficates; previously, the em
ployers or parents were res
ponsible. After October 1,1973,
minor workers will have to ob
