DNC Union Favoritism Forcing Furloughs Of Charlotte’s Non-Union Hotel Workers? ...

In February, when the Democratic National Committee chose Charlotte, North Carolina as the host city for its September 2012 convention, it left the door wide open for the Charlotte-area’s union-free workforce to be discriminated against in favor union workers.
