The AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades department is out with a new video on John McCain’s positions in his own words. The labor federation notes that McCain is no friend of construction workers – having tried to undermine the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage law and voting to allow contractors to hire permanent strike breaking workers in labor disputes. McCain also voted against two highway bills that would have provided 5 million jobs over six years, according to the AFL-CIO.
