Joe Biden has already made labor unions regret their support for him.
During his first day in office, Biden revoked the construction permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline, destroying thousands of jobs.
TC Energy Corp., the Canadian company sharing ownership of the pipeline with the Alberta government, had estimated that 10,000 jobs would be created in 2021 thanks to the construction of the pipeline.
A total of 42,000 jobs were to be filled once the pipeline was completed.
The Laborer’s International Union Of North America issued this statement:
“The Biden decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit on day one of his presidency is both insulting and disappointing to the thousands of hard-working LIUNA members who will lose good-paying, middle-class family-supporting jobs,”
“By pandering to environmental extremists, a thousand union jobs will immediately vanish and 10,000 additional jobs will be foregone.”
This comes after LIUNA bragged about pushing Biden “over the top” in 2020:
The North American Building Trades Union said:
“North America’s Building Trades Unions are deeply disappointed in the decision to cancel the Keystone XL permit on the President’s first day in office. Environmental ideologues have prevailed, and over a thousand union men and women have been terminated from employment on the project.
Tens of thousands of workers are left to wonder what the future holds for them. In the midst of a pandemic that has wreaked havoc on the economic security of tens of millions more, we must all acknowledge the uncertainty and anxiety this government action has caused.”
The United Association Of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters released this statement:
“In revoking this permit, the Biden Administration has chosen to listen to the voices of fringe activists instead of union members and the American consumer on Day 1.”

what did they think would happen?
They never learn. This has happened before.
Is their leadership really that dumb?
I guess the answer is yes!
They got what they voted for.
Suckers
LOL we told them so
It’s not so much that their leadership is dumb. Their leadership knew what was coming. They are just pretending that they were blindsided.
But.....Trump’s tweets. Don’t worry, be happy.
But at Biden didn’t say “there were fine people on both sides”
I am quite confident that “all will be forgiven” by 2022.
Dumb and greedy
What the heck did they expect?
Hey unions! President Trump would NEVER have pandered to environmental extremists. But you wouldn’t support him, so eff off!!!
Suckers.
L
The Democrats lie. They lie and they lie and they lie.
If a Democrat’s lips are moving, they are lying.
If they tell you a Conservative group is doing something,
check very closely on them. They are most likely already
doing it themselves.
Here they told unions they were their best friends. And of
course unions bought off on it. It was a lie.
The Democrats say they are the best friend of Blacks and
do absolutely nothing for them. They race bait which sets
back race relations by decades. That doesn’t help Blacks.
It’s helps Democrats attract votes.
I could go on, but I’d almost never be able to stop.
Democrats lie so much, it’s nearly impossible to document
all the lies.
We attract people on ideas. The Democrats attract people
by lying to them.
Biden told them what he was going to do.
Did they think he was joking?
Their leadership did know what was coming. What do they care? They will still get paid while the rank and file workers get screwed.
C’est dommage !
