Major Union Abandons Workers to Back Bid  February 10, 2021  AAN Staff 

The AFL-CIO is now under fire by many of its own members after its decision to back Biden in the 2020 Presidential election turned out to be a complete disaster for the workers it claims to represent.

The fact that backing Biden has become a disaster for union members has now become undeniable in the wake of his insane and aggressive executive order which has effectively ended the Keystone XL pipeline, along with thousands of good-paying union jobs.

As Fox News reports:

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka’s muted reaction to President Biden’s decision to derail the Keystone XL pipeline project shows the divide between union leadership and union members, Heritage Foundation economics research fellow Rachel Greszler told Fox News.

“The fact that Trumka was relatively indifferent to Biden’s move to kill thousands of union jobs is troubling and revealing,” Greszler said. “It shows that unions don’t actually represent workers’ interests, but rather union leadership’s quest for power.”

Trumka expressed displeasure with the pipeline project cancellation but also praised Biden as possibly “the best union president we ever had” during an “Axios on HBO” interview that aired on Sunday…

Labor groups have said Biden’s Day One decision to nix the Keystone pipeline quickly eliminated 1,000 union jobs and could kill 10 times more in construction jobs that were expected to be created by the project.
