CHARLESTON, W. Va – The snow and bone-chilling temperatures didn’t stop state-wide union workers from rallying against the prevailing wage law change at the State Capitol Monday afternoon in Charleston.

The Show Up and Stand Up Rally was led by Senator Minority Leader Jeff Kessler (D-Marshall, 02) who called for a public show of opposition towards many bills Republican leaders are moving this Regular Legislative Session.
