Top Union Leader Realizes Joe’s Real Agenda

Top Union Leader Realizes Joes Real Agenda

A top union leader has slammed Joe Biden over his executive order cancelling the Keystone XL Pipeline, which cost approximately 11,000 construction jobs.

Executive Order

According to reporting by Axios, “Organized labor is crucial to the Biden coalition. But there are significant tensions among environmentalists, the president’s team addressing climate change and some parts of the labor movement. The Laborers’ International Union of North America said the Keystone decision will cost 1,000 existing union jobs and 10,000 projected construction jobs.”

AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka called Joe Biden out during an interview that aired on February 7.

“Well, I wish he had not done that on the first day because the Labor’s International was right, it did and will cost us jobs in the process. I wish he had paired that more carefully with the thing that he did second by saying, here’s where we are creating jobs, we can do mine reclamation, we can fix leaks, and we can fix seeps, and create hundreds of thousands in doing all of that stuff,” Trumka said.

The top union leader seems to still be holding out hope that Biden didn’t completely lie to the unions in order to get their vote. Trumka said that he “thinks” Biden understands that it was a mistake to sign an executive order costing Americans jobs in the midst of a pandemic.

Trumka was asked in the interview if he agreed with a statement from the Laborers’ International Union of North America, which read: “We support the president’s campaign to Build Back Better. Killing good union jobs on day 1 with nothing to replace them is not building back better.” His answer? “Yes.”

Fracking Ban

The top union leader was also asked about Biden’s plan to ban fracking on federal lands.

“If you destroy 100 jobs in Greene County, Pennsylvania, where I grew up, and you create 100 jobs in California, it doesn’t do those 100 families much good. If you’re looking at a pipeline and you’re saying we’re going to put it down, now what are you going to do to create the same good-paying jobs in that area?” Trumka asked.

“You know, when they laid off at the mines back in Pennsylvania, they told us they were going to train us to be computer programmers. And I said, ‘Where are the computer programmer jobs at?’ ‘Uh, they’re in, uh, Oklahoma and they’re in Vegas and they’re here.’ And I said, ‘So, in other words, what we’re going to be is unemployed miners and unemployed computer programmers as well,’” he added.

The Ignorance of Democrat Voters Will Cost Them

Former Trump staffer Cliff Sims shared an interesting point on Twitter that Trumka and other Biden voters should have realized. “[Richard Trumka] completely missed the political realignment. The GOP is now the workers’ Party. The Dems are the Party of Wall St., Big Tech, radical Leftists & enviro activists. Now he’s got buyer’s remorse & his members are getting crushed. Huge blunder,” Sims tweeted.

Several unions that supported Joe Biden during the election have already called him out for killing good-paying American jobs with his executive order. It’s almost sad that they didn’t see this coming, as Biden made it apparent during his campaign that he was planning to destroy the oil and gas industry if he took office.
