Labor breaks with the DNC

Now here's a change I can believe in:

"In a bold move, the AFL-CIO and many other labor union are pulling their funds back from the Democratic National Convention. This is largely due to the fact that the DNC is being held in Charlotte, NC. North Carolina is a well known Right To Work State and has very low union percentage. The DNC will be hosting the convention at a non-union hotel and a non-union convention center."

The Labor Movement and the Democratic Party have had separate interests for quite a long time. It is about time unions stopped bending over backwards and spending so much of their meager funds on politicians who do not stand for working people.
