NABTU: Biden secures significant union support while its leadership criticizes Trump

Joe Biden received a major endorsement from North America’s Building Trades Unions, citing his infrastructure bill as the reason. NABTU plans to mobilize their members in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The Teamsters, also part of NABTU, are holding off on endorsing any candidate at this time. The endorsement from NABTU is seen as more enthusiastic than their support for Biden in 2020, signaling a shift in union member’s political allegiances. The union also criticized Trump for his handling of the January 6 insurrection. Biden is praised for his efforts for working people, with unions highlighting the benefits of his legislation. Union leaders are hopeful that their endorsement will sway members to support Biden in the upcoming election. Biden’s focus on infrastructure and union jobs is contrasted with Trump’s lack of action in these areas. Biden’s administration has been commended for its efforts to support union workers and rebuild the economy.
