The Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT) union has endorsed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) for president in 2008.

The endorsement came as a result of a major outreach program to the union’s 160,000 active members and retirees. All members and retirees received a survey by mail.

IUPAT General President James Williams says this was the most extensive member polling the union has ever done.

snip Clinton has won the endorsement of 11 additional unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO: AFSCME, AFT, the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), the Bricklayers (BAC), the Letter Carriers (NALC), the Machinists (IAM), the Office and Professional Employees (OPEIU), the Sheet Metal Workers (SMWIA), TCU/IAM, the Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the United Transportation Union (UTU).
