(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Statement of SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry on the joint announcement that the United State and China have agreed to ambitious new goals for steep reductions in carbon emissions over the next two decades:
"The U.S.-China pact on bigger, faster reductions in carbon emissions is a victory for working people the world over. This climate pact by the world's two largest carbon emitters will result in not only healthier air, but healthier communities and healthier economies.
"We celebrate this victory on the heels of the biggest climate change protest in history, with a huge contingent of working people joining the call for action. We put the wind in the sails of world leaders and the result is more than we might have imagined just weeks ago.
"The Obama Administration has lead by example on climate and we hope more nations will emulate this progress by China and the United States for the good of all working people. A quicker transition to clean energy is good for jobs, for our communities and for a healthy future for the children we love.
"Working people and people who care about the environment will act more vigorously than ever before now to support these strong steps forward on clean energy and clean jobs."
At least say it right.
Now most union workers are in govt jobs where they aren’t subject to economic trends.
Her Magic Obama-head 8-Ball would say “Doubtful”
Yup. And they’re not sensitive to the economic impact of the rules and regulations they impose upon society.
Its just another piece of paper to federal bureaucrats.
In California, I worked with a bunch of nurses. The vast majority of them, who are represented by SEIU, don't agree with her either.
That is, so long as job loss is good for working people...
“Comrades!” cried an eager voice. We have glorious news for you: A victory for working people! We have won the carbon battle! All over the North Amerikan Union this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when workers marched out of factories and offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Chairman Obama for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us."

LOL....well that’s pretty much what it is....
China showed just exactly how they see anything coming from Obie.”politely” of course. They will lave windows open some for the next administration, just as every other leaders is doing....the world is not waiting for Obie’s “changes” anymore. Rather they are ‘watching out’ for what he’s going to destroy next!
As Ronald Reagan often said:
The unions are out of touch with the rank-and-file
Another stupid Democrat voter.
Al Gore says the planet is in dnager right now, but we will let China, the biggest economy on earth, increase emissions for another 15 years, while we cut back.
What is the point of that?
It is still a huge net gain for carbon emissions.
Which shows the utter hypocrisy of the global warming loons.
For crying out loud. The left rallying behind this pathetic “deal” because it’s obvious to the world zero arrived there an empty suit and left there empty handed, while Putin made deals in the hundreds of billions.
I am a useless carbon emitter.
