AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka not happy with Biden….

Being President is NOT a easy job…

Joe Biden prides himself in support from unions/labor….

One of the first things he did was to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the US….And maybe oil fracking on federal land in the future?

THAT has made environmentalist’s happy…

But?

It has NOT made Canada and worst of all a big union group boss that Biden WOULD like on his side of the fence….

By making one group happy he’s putting more than 10,000 union people out of jobs in America and others in Canada with the pipeline….

The union head is asking the President to pair the job cuts with job creation funding…

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said he wished that President Biden hadn’t canceled the Keystone XL pipeline project on his first day in office and instead paired it with an announcement about job creation, according to an interview clip that was published Sunday.

Trumka told Axios’s Jonathan Swan that the Laborers’ International Union of North America was right to condemn Biden for signing an executive order to rescind the Keystone XL pipeline permit, which the union said will cost 1,000 jobs and 10,000 projected construction jobs….

The AFL-CIO president said he thinks Biden realized he made a mistake by not jointly announcing job creation plans saying, “the next time the subject came up it was done the right way.”

Trumka said he didn’t know if Biden would shut down other pipelines, adding, “I know this if he does he’ll pair it with job creation that will be greater than the number of jobs lost.”

When asked about the president’s plan to stop fracking on federal lands, Trumka said, “I’m sure if he promised to do it he probably will,” noting, “he promised to shut down XL.”

“He’s a man of his word,” the AFL-CIO president told Axios. “But he’s also promised to create jobs, good union jobs, and be the best union president that we’ve ever had. And I believe he’ll do that as well.”…
