N&O Reporter Discusses 'Reluctant Regulator' Series On Cherie Berry

In North Carolina, the state Labor Department steps in when an employer does not pay money that’s owed to an employee.  At least, the department is supposed to. The Raleigh News & Observer this week has a series looking at instances where the department and its commissioner, Cherie Berry, are not fulfilling their duties to workers who’ve been cheated.  Mandy Locke is the reporter in the series that’s called “The Reluctant Regulator.” Locke joined Morning Edition host Marshall Terry for a conversation.
