As the run-up to the 2016 presidential campaign intensifies, construction groups and unions are beginning to devote time and energy to identifying candidates whom they can support.
Some construction unions, including the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States, Canada and Australia (UA), already have endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. Other organizations, including the Associated Builders and Contractors, are taking a wait-and-see approach to the crowded field to determine their favorite candidate.
