COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — Organized by a national movement known as 50501, protests against the Trump administration took place in Rock Hill, Greenville, Charleston, Aiken, and at the Statehouse, with around 15 local union and worker organizations taking part as well.

And then to advertise SC workers as some of the most skilled in the world, but they deserve 23, 24% less than the national average, not to be able to raise the minimum wage in SC?
