Local businessmen in the least-unionized state in the country are worried that organizers of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., are putting the Democratic Party’s alliance with organized labor ahead of local businesses—as well as state law.
As the Charlotte Observer has previously reported, the Democratic National Convention Committee’s (DNCC) master contract with the city of Charlotte mandates that union labor be maximized with respect to convention-related work.
“To the extent permitted by law … all services, goods, equipment, supplies and materials to be provided or procured by the Host Committee hereunder shall be performed or supplied by firms covered by current union collective bargaining agreements,” the contract reads.
