(Re: the DNC convention) I began to hear rumors that DNC officials were asking all Event Planners, Producers, and Production Companies to use union labor. I got a copy of their RFP (Request for Proposal) and read it myself. The proposal read “we prefer that you use Union labor” for our events. I was flabbergasted. You see, North Carolina is a Right To Work state, which means in layman’s terms that you cannot make anyone use union labor. For the DNC to come to North Carolina and blatantly break our Right To Work laws is disheartening. Even though the RFP is phrased as “we prefer” saying this is enough to tell anyone that wants to get a piece of this $36, 000,000.00 pie, to abide by their preference. Anyone who wants to do business with the DNC will surely not go against their wishes in their RFP. Again this is a once in a lifetime event. Most people in our business will never see an event of this magnitude in a lifetime.

Yes, this needs to be plastered all over NC.....and a few other states.
Nancy Pelosi doesn’t use Union workers in her business.
I guess he's sheen the light.
Cue the “Uncle Tom” &/or “oreo” references coming from his peeps in 3, 2, 1 ...
WOW! Sent to Rush, Hot Air, DRUDGE and a couple of others...
This guy gets it- he’s smart enough to live...and LEARN!
Sorry guys, but they’re not forcing union labor on the contractors. They only said they ‘prefer’ unions. I’m sure they’re wording it this way because NC is a ‘Right to Work’ state.
And if you choose to use non-union labor, they'll prefer to use the services of someone who does rather than yours.
Don’t you understand Chicago terminology? “Prefer” means no contract and broken limbs if you open your mouth. And to get those union workers approved, there are certain fees that are to be paid. There will be union thugs that will have to be added and paid even if not needed. Have you been riding on any turnip wagons recently and fallen off?
““we prefer that you use Union labor”....
Suggesting that they PREFER that they use union labor is not the same a telling you to use union labor. Hence, no law was broken......I would ignore them and hire who I wanted, be they union or not. Just because someone is a union worker does not mean he/she is a BETTER worker or more skilled.
“Eh! I’m gonna make you an offer I prefer you don’t refuse.”
New style Chicago threat.
Whether it’s material for a lawsuit or not, it is clearly inappropriate, and good material for Romney. Am not a lawyer, but would think they DO have a court case, as well. At the very least the state Attorney General should confront them about it. Most RFP’s have to say something about non-discrimination.
Welcome to reality, sir. Your little law means nothing to the regime.
