LAS VEGAS - Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday accepted the endorsement of a 230,000-member labor group that will soon be formed through a merger.

SMART, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, will merge the Sheet Metal Workers' International Association and the United Transportation Union in January. The New York senator had previously received the endorsement of the transportation union, which is the larger of the merging unions with 125,000 active and retired members in the railroad, bus and public transit industries.
