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.”

Embrace the suck. I know moron gunowners who voted for Bidet and are now shocked at his actions coming down the pike.
Pretend outrage from leadership that will 100% guaranteed endorse whoever the dem is in the next POTUS election.
This would be hilarious if it weren’t so tragic. Since those arse holes are dragging us all down with them, I’ll simply laugh.
Joe got the votes, he doesn’t need them ever again. However, Burisma could use a boost.
A couple weeks ago my husbands nephew in law was proudly standing next to Biden in a photo op as he was retiring from President of Plumbers Union in Pittsburgh.
yep they’ll be backing every dem they can find.
F all those union goons. They voted for their pain. No sympathy
don’t worry
in four years they’ll vote democrat again
Well, keep engaging in rubber-stamp endorsements of Democrats. You should learn at some point that they don’t stand for American workers at all.
Suck it, you morons...you’ve helped ruin freedom
He told them he was going after oil and coal.
What did the idiots expect?
Poorly pretended surprise - the union bosses knew in advance because the Dems told them so. The Dems always were the party of the little guy. In this case the little guy has a name: Deng Xiaoping.
Anyone who voted for Biden deserves every bit of pain they experience.
On the other hand, service worker unions like SEIU are a different story. They are full of gibs-me-dats, Obama phone fans, mo' free stuff parasites. They live on Ol' Massa Mister Joe's plantation.
As we used to say in Southern Russia: “Tough shitsky yall comrads”
Yeah, gee, that’s too bad. darn it.
Again, “good and hard”.
And again...and again....and again....
Whoopie, so they are mad at him, big deal. It was out there for all to see what Biden was and what he would do so those unions who supported him knew exactly what to expect. They still voted for him so they deserve what they get. Thing is, the idiots will vote for him again given the chance.
