3 Unions That Endorsed Biden Seem Like They're Already Regretting It

Three unions seemed to be regretting endorsing President Joe Biden after his first day in office.

Biden revoked the construction permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline on Wednesday, destroying thousands of union jobs.

“Leaving the Keystone XL pipeline permit in place would not be consistent with my Administration’s economic and climate imperatives,” Biden said, according to The Associated Press.

Keystone XL President Richard Prior said more than 1,000 unionized jobs would also be eliminated in the next few weeks as it slowly shuts down the construction of the 1,700-mile pipeline.

The United Association of Union Plumbers was one group that endorsed Biden last year, saying he would help it “win more work with good wages and benefits.”

“This endorsement is about putting UA members to work and fighting for fair wages and good benefits,” General President Mark McManus said in August.

Less than a year later, the union has expressed disappointment in Biden.

“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,” McManus said in a statement.

“Sadly, the Biden Administration has now put thousands of union workers out of work. For the average American family, it means energy costs will go up and communities will no longer see the local investments that come with pipeline construction.”

Right on with your comments. The Union bosses get all the perks, while they force their “membership” to pay dues, which go to democrats and the cycle starts all over again. The scum democrats then turn around an complain that Republicans are undercutting unions with right-to-work laws.

I love it when union bosses do exactly what’s in the worst interest of its members. The union vote is so corrupt. Comical. I have family that is union hard core democrats but can’t explain why. Oh - btw it family in law. Just 2 vs 40 of us conservatives.

Still comical watching the union bosses selling union members into poverty while union members contort themselves into a safe place. I have worked non union in a union house. It’s the perfect representation of Democrats values of corruption, bureaucracy and ineptitude.

This is a little bit longer term — but I live in a blue part of Indiana. Industrial and blue-collar. A few blocks away from me there is one of the larger oil refineries in the country. It provides a lot of revenue and jobs for the area. Biden has pledged to wean us off petroleum by 2035. I hope I am still around to see what happens over there.

Just a little closer....

“I hope I am still around to see what happens over there.”

Be sure to do that from a safe distance.

That ought to be a good one: the unions against the environmentalists.

Of course nobody was listening to Biden’s speeches.

Oh, yeah. Eventually I’ll be heading to some open space farther south.

You know what this means?

It means they're going to have to raise union dues so they can lobby even harder to protect their members.

These union leaders knew what was going to happen. Everyone knew what would happen. They chose ideology over the people they represent.
