The 2012 Democratic Convention is coming to the Queen City and the union thugs are not happy with the selection. North Carolina is a right to work state, and for Charlotte to be picked is an affront to the socialist movement. However, the bid proposal promised to hire as many Marxist as possible:
Charlotte's bid proposal says the city will "endeavor to use union labor to the greatest extent feasible" but provides no detail on how that will happen.
Because the city has so few unionized workers - perhaps 3 percent - it's unclear how much of the pie labor unions can expect to grab. Roughly 3.5 percent of North Carolina workers are unionized.
The Democratic Party has the ultimate say as to who will work at the convention and since they are beholden to the unions, some are worried that outside labor will be brought into the state:
Angaza Laughinghouse, president of the N.C. Public Service Workers Union, said he doesn't support bringing in outside workers. He said, he plans to use the convention to "share with the world how workers here are being denied the fundamental human right to collectively bargain and have a voice." In North Carolina, it's illegal for public employees to bargain for wages or benefits collectively.
That’s because many who have moved from states dominated by unions; don’t want to see North Carolina turned into a hell hole like the one they escaped from. Can anyone say Michigan or California?
Colbert of The Employers Association said he is advising nonunionized companies to start preparing now. He said employers would be wise to analyze their pay rates, benefits packages and training programs to ensure they match industry standards.
"This would be a prime time for unions to make their promises. It's natural that while they're here they would try to drum up some business,"
As though Charlotte and Mecklenburg County wasn’t dysfunctional enough already.
