North America’s Building Trades Unions Criticizes Trump's Praise for ABC
Washington, D.C. – October 24, 2024 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey expressed concerns over Donald Trump’s recent praise for the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) at a controversial event.
During a Turning Point event, noted for its controversial views, Trump praised ABC, an anti-union construction group. This event coincided with reports detailing Trump's admiration for World War II dictators, raising alarms.
NABTU’s Sean McGarvey addressed the issue, emphasizing the stark contrast between the building trades and ABC regarding workers' rights to organize, join unions, and bargain collectively. He criticized ABC's endorsement of Trump amidst revelations about his ties to a Nazi regime, made by General John Kelly, a respected Marine general.
McGarvey highlighted that ABC’s support for Trump reflects poorly on their values, describing them as an astroturf group hindering construction professionals’ aspirations, both union and nonunion, for a middle-class lifestyle. He remarked on the implications of #ABCmeritproud as disgraceful.
