North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) is the trade name of the Building and Construction Trades Department (BCTD), a division of the AFL-CIO responsible for managing the interaction of AFL-CIO-affiliated building trades unions, settling organizing disputes between unions, and representing construction unions as a bloc for advocacy and employer-relations purposes. 1
Activities
In April 2024, NABTU announced they would be endorsing president Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign. In a statement, NABTU president Sean McGarvey claimed, “no elected official has shown our members and their families more respect than President Joe Biden,” 1 and that president Biden, “has demonstrated his laser-like focus on not only rebuilding our nation’s infrastructure and manufacturing sector but rebuilding the American middle class itself.” 1
