The AFL-CIO has not decided if it will help fund the Democratic National Convention in right-to-work North Carolina, though the group still plans to work to elect the party’s candidates in November.
“We have not as of yet” decided to contribute, Richard Trumka, head of the labor federation, said yesterday at a press conference in Washington. “We will be doing the things we do; we will be building structure to try to get the president elected. We unequivocally support him and his re-election efforts.”
