North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU), representing over 3 million union construction professionals, issued a statement from President Sean McGarvey:

“NABTU proudly supports Vice President Kamala Harris’s selection of Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Walz, a military veteran, hunter, fisherman, and longtime advocate for the Building Trades, has consistently promoted project labor agreements and middle-class, family-sustaining union jobs. His commitment to labor rights and support for working families align with our union values.”

“With experience as a teacher, football coach, 24-year Army National Guard veteran, and union member, Walz has served Minnesota in the U.S. House for a decade and now as Governor advanced infrastructure, job creation, and workforce training. His support for labor unions has created growth opportunities for skilled tradespeople.”

“Governor Walz, like President Biden and Vice President Harris, recognizes the importance of fair wages, safe working conditions, and collective bargaining rights. He has championed policies that protect workers’ rights and amplify the voices of our members at all government levels.”

“We believe that with Harris as President and Walz as Vice President, the nation’s workforce will have a brighter, more secure future. Together, we will build a better America.”
