A host of Democratic presidential candidates spoke Wednesday on the second day of the North America’s Building Trades Unions Legislative Conference. Their message was clear: jobs, jobs, jobs. NABTU supports strong labor laws and workforce development. Each candidate, from John Hickenlooper to Eric Swalwell, made sure to emphasize the importance of America’s working class — a demographic that was key to President Donald Trump’s 2016 win.
