The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America has more than half a million members. In a statement to The Huffington Post, union president Doug McCarron called Clinton "a fighter" who has "consistently fought for our issues on many levels of government."

4. At this point it's a good thing when any establishment entity, even a labor union,

hesitates to jump in with a picked candidate.

Bernie Sanders is a stretch for any big organization, because change is REALLY scary to them. It'll take more time, more people...both of which are coming along.

6. Exactly, and it looks like Biden was given as the reason, which shows they

are loyal to the Democratic party.
