The alliance that includes all major U.S. construction unions has endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris for president and vice president of the United States. The North America's Building Trades Unions' decision to endorse the Biden-Harris Democratic ticket, announced on Oct. 23, comes after “four years of broken promises,” according to its president, Sean McGarvey.
Although 13 of the group's 14 affiliate unions—including the carpenters’, laborers’ and electrical workers’ unions—had already endorsed Biden, McGarvey says NABTU delayed its endorsement announcement as it tried to continue working with the Trump administration on issues that affect construction union members and the industry in general.
