Sean McGarvey, president of the Building and Construction Trades Dept. of the AFL-CIO, believes it is time for organized labor to rethink how the BCTD delivers its message to politicians and industry. The moment could be at hand, with Capitol Hill debating immigration and lingering concerns about nationwide construction jobs.
McGarvey warmed to the task during his keynote address at the Building Trades 2013 National Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., on April 22-24.
