Bricklayers Endorse Obama

by Seth Michaels, Aug 4, 2008

The Bricklayers (BAC) union has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) for president.

The BAC Executive Council voted unanimously this weekend to endorse Obama and mobilize the union’s 100,000 members to elect Obama and a worker-friendly Congress in November.

John J. Flynn, president of the Bricklayers, says Obama is the right candidate to create new jobs, rebuild America’s infrastructure and restore workers’ freedom to form unions.

BAC is proud to stand with Sen. Obama, who has stood by working families during his years as a community organizer, as an Illinois state legislator and in the United States Senate. He has the courage, conviction, experience and judgment to bring about the change America needs.

Last month, the AFL-CIO endorsed Obama and launched a new website, Meet Barack Obama, to educate and mobilize union members. This fall, the AFL-CIO is carrying out an unprecedented grassroots mobilization to elect a working family-friendly Congress and president.
