Building Trades Nov. 4 Labor Endorsements
Obama-Biden
Helping the Trades Rebuild America
Building Trades members have the opportunity on Nov. 4 to
help put America back on track to prosperity to bring back
the American values of hard work and fairness that have been
forgotten these past eight years of corporate giveaways and greed.
The choice couldn’t be clearer for union construction workers. We
will have a friend in the White House with Barack Obama. A friend who
supports prevailing wages, Project Labor Agreements, the right of workers to join a union, increases safety on job sites
and hundreds of millions of dollars every year for infrastructure projects. Barack Obama sees the Building Trades as
a valuable ally and resource for leading America to energy independence and combating climate chage by building
alternative energy sources from solar and wind, to building the next generation of nuclear and clean coal power plants.
Be sure to get out to the polls this Nov. 4. A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for more union construction jobs.
