In a solid piece of journalism, RedState.com is reporting that organizers of
the Democratic presidential convention which is to be held in Charlotte, NC
, are refusing to offer any contracts to non-unionized shops and further are
causing the temporary (we hope) layoff of non-unionized hotel employees (
such as at the Ritz-Carlton) during the convention.
This could be the first convention in history (or at least the first I know
of) which could be responsible for increasing local unemployment because of
the Democrats’ unbending fealty to unions.
This could and should be a PR disaster for Democrats, not least because they
are hoping that they might have a chance for Barack Obama to win North
Carolina again, as he did in 2012. My bet is that Obama loses the state by
at least 5 points, with the convention now becoming a political liability
rather than benefit to them.
The public is coming to realize that labor unions – especially public
sector unions – are parasites on the American economy. Even though the
unions involved here are private sector, this will be one of the best
opportunities in recent memory to show the destructive impact of their 21st-
century existence for which there is no legitimate justification. Unions
cause unemployment in several ways, but few will be as visible as this.
Nice work by “LaborUnionReport” over at RedState.com. |
