WASHINGTON—Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the endorsement of a union representing plasterers and cement masons in the construction industry.

The 45,000-member Operative Plasterers' and Cement Masons' International Association timed its endorsement for Clinton's speech Wednesday before the AFL-CIO's Building Trades National Legislative Conference. Clinton announced the support when she took the stage and said she was grateful and honored.

Union President Pat Finley said in a statement that Clinton has the ability to turn around the economy and rebuild the middle class.

"She has a clear record fighting for working families, and is the strongest candidate to go toe-to-toe with John McCain in November," Finley said.
