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.”

The union bosses come out ok. Just as they usually do. They’ll sell the membership down the river in a heartbeat.

Won’t happen. It doesn’t take that much to pay off the union bosses.

What? Have they got the IQs of toadstools? Biden plainly said he would end fossil fuels and end fracking. Many times. Did they all think he was just joshing?

# 13. In “three years” these unions’ jobs will be filled by illegal “caravan” aliens.

Now that will be one badassed “payback”.

“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.”

In a just world the loathsome criminal who said these words would have his mouth washed out with soap and be fired.

Things like this are why union membership and support are at all-time lows.

“When democrat special interests collide with each other. The union guys against the environmentalists. I hope this happens again and again.”

When it happens, we need to make people aware of it. The mediots will not do it.

I doubt union leaders regret it and they are the ones giving the Rat party big, sweaty wads of cash. Neither the unions nor the politicians give a rat’s butt about the voters. It’s all about the money.

In the old Soviet Union people knew enough to not believe the communist media. Instead they talked quietly among themselves. I think that is what we will have to do, Comrade.
