 Clinton clinches Boston mayor’s endorsement and fires up labor troops

To unionized workers, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is one of their own. And so
his endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on
Sunday at a rally in his city’s historic Faneuil Hall served as a call to
action for union members nationwide who are the foot soldiers of the
Democratic Party.

“It’s time we stop talking about having a woman for president — it’s time
we make it a reality,” said Walsh, a member of the Laborers union
and former head of the Building and Construction Trades Council of the
Metropolitan District. “Where are my fellow tradeswomen and men? Get your
sledgehammers ready, because we’ve got a glass ceiling to demolish.”

Dubbed “Hard Hats for Hillary,” the coalition of unionized supporters is 11
million strong, according to the campaign.

And Clinton used the venue as an opportunity to announce her intention
to anchor
her jobs agenda
<https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-to-unveil-major-jobs-and-infrastructure-spending-proposal/2015/11/28/37d19c3e-95f9-11e5-a2d6-f57908580b1f_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-low_clintonjobs8pm:homepage/story>
 in infrastructure projects — and the union jobs they create.

Clinton said she would propose $275 billion in federal infrastructure
spending, most of which would go directly to funding projects. According to
a campaign aide, $25 billion would be used to seed a federal infrastructure
bank, which would attract $225 billion in private investment for additional
projects.

“We know there’s money sitting on the sidelines that could be put to
productive use,” Clinton said.

Clinton said she also would support renewing and expanding President
Obama’s Build America Bonds program, also geared toward spurring private
investment in infrastructure

“I want to use every tool we can to invest in infrastructure,” Clinton
said. “We’ve got to do this now. We need to put people to work now.”

The event is the first of what the campaign said would be a month-long
focus on Clinton’s jobs agenda. Infrastructure investments will be the
largest — and most expensive — portion of the plan, which also calls for
investment in manufacturing, clean energy and research.

According to a campaign aide, more than 1,000 people packed Faneuil Hall,
many of them union workers. Hundreds more watched from a television screen
outside. Union workers carried “Carpenters for Hillary” and “Builders for
Hillary” signs and T-shirts.

Still, more than one dozen supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), who
also is seeking the Democratic nomination, carried signs and distributed
buttons outside the doors.

Inside the hall, however, they were called to action for Clinton.

“They are out to destroy the labor movement,” said Terry O’Sullivan, the
international president of the Laborers International Union of North
America. “That’s what we’re up against.”

“What we need to do is get off our a---- after this rally,” he added.
“We’ve got to knock on doors.”

For many here, Clinton is a familiar face and a known quantity.

“We’ve been dealing with Hillary for years,” said union member Tom Troy,
59, of Boston. “We love the idea that she’s getting another shot at it.”

“We’re going to work our a---- off for her, I’ll tell you that," he said.
