The AFL-CIO, angry about Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter's veto of a pro-union bill, may recommend that the Democratic Party move its 2008 convention from Denver. The bill would have made it easier to set up all-union workplaces. "The attention of the American people will be focused on Denver and the state of Colorado as they prepare to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention," the labor federation's executive council said in a resolution passed during their winter meeting in Las Vegas. Union members and working people will make up more than a quarter of the delegates to the Denver convention.
