More than a dozen trade unions are planning to sit out the 2012 Democratic convention because they are angry it will be held in a right-to-work state. The unions say they are disappointed that labor wasn't consulted before Democrats settled on North Carolina, a state that is considered one of the least union-friendly in the nation.
They are also frustrated that job creation hasn't been a higher priority for Democratic lawmakers. The unions include the Laborers, Painters and Electrical Workers.
The move would deprive the party of millions of dollars spent on sky boxes and other sponsorships that usually help underwrite the convention.
A Democratic National Committee spokeswoman says the party is happy with the support of local labor leaders in North Carolina.

Boo friggin hoo.
How’s all that change workin’ out, unions?
Will they be beating delegates up outside the doors?
They will be in the streets organizing flash mobs instead.
They probably don’t have the money since they just spent $40 million in Wisconsin just to lose.
My bet is they do travel....they gonna git sa more of dat Obama money in the next stimulus package.
Why bother sending anyone when they they basically act like a paramilitary wing of the DNC.
The DNC probably picked NC because they don’t really want the Unions to show up.
Right ......
The Purple People Beaters showing up confronting people makes them look bad. The DNC knows it, but won’t admit it.
Anybody think that a few of these unions don’t want to be associated with a Loser like Obama? The “Right to Work” aspect could have been finessed. You know that the Clintons’ would never have had this problem.
Thug meetin’ not happenin’.
That;s okay — the Obama people will sell the SKy Boxes to others who will be more than willing to buy. The Chinese Communist Gov’t, Muslim Brotherhood, La Raza, Hamas, Hezbollah... And I’m sure ACORN (or whatever name they go by now), Organizing For America and SEIU will make up the difference. And trust me, as a native North Carolinian, the Democrats there won’t let their Masters and overlords look bad....
Whoopee! We should work on stirring up as much of this kind of trouble with pro-union friends and family as we can.
The Dems really are just a tool of the Marxists, and vice versa.
We have concealed carry here too...
Good luck with controlling the violence....
As Judd Nelson once said, “B-O-O H-O-O”
The DNC doesn’t care about the money.
They have plenty... between Georgie Soros’ suspected $10,000,000,000 gain over the S&P downgrade (that’s right ... 10 BILLION), and the web-site contribution centers in Saudi Arabia (each call for $199), they will have the best financed campaign in history!
I have NO proof of this, it is PURE SPECULATION, on my part.
Too bad, the money that would have been spent is now available to go to the candidates.
