“The United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) issued the following statement today following the news that the Biden-Harris Administration plans to rescind the permit and effectively end construction on the Keystone XL pipeline:

“ ‘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. Let me be very clear: When built with union labor by the men and women of the United Association, pipelines like Keystone XL remain the safest and most efficient modes of energy transportation in the world. 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,’ said Mark McManus, General President of the United Association.”

The union backed Biden, so good glad he screwed you. Now get lost and eat your government supplied cat food and stop the whining.

Yeah, the only jobs lost are union jobs. Blinders on much?

C'mon frank, you're smarter than that.

Anyone happy a working man or woman is out of a job is clearly an POS and deserves to let from go from a traveling job in a far away location with no recourse.

Awesome, a tip of the colorful narrow brimmed welder's hat to HockeySon. I was certified to welcome on structural steel in Los Angeles and had a second job in a welding school before getting into the nuclear power plant construction business.

You'd think these new green jobs would be available before killing real jobs... 😟

So Joe would rather we send our money to the Middle East or Venezuela than to our Canadian neighbors.

Oh, and move oil by train on crappy railroads instead of a pipelines, like those that cris cross the country.

If you agree with this decision, please, shut off your gas meter at your house and have your automobiles crushed, it's the least you can do.

He started off on ocean going oil tanker repair then got into the pipe fitter/welder union. He travels all around the county. Refineries, power plants, chemical plants, pipelines etc. his last gig was an Intel plant in Portland. He’s holed up with his girlfriend in Vegas now and we got to see him between Christmas and New Years. It had been three years.

Covid the industry hard. Difficult to social distance.

It sounds like he is getting the best kind of experience.

My younger son just left an oilfield field machining and service company, Team Industrial. He is friends with one of their crackerjack problem solving welders. That welder makes more money than most of their top managers, plus the satisfaction of bing that guy that got it done.

Well we hired a old white dude that likes to play dress up for a black dude he fired.

Kills tons of jobs.

Let’s China be part of our infrastructure.

Is set to give billions to foreign powers when we have people losing jobs and homes......

Not gaining any popularity with his hard left honeymoon.

and just like that 60,000 jobs went down the toilet.

Now...who pays for the storage or destruction of the pipe that was going to be used?

YOU do.

SUCKERS.

Same old voices that witnessed the drop at the pumps and got us energy dependent again, but let's not mess with pesky truths nor the facts that China and Buffet has to get PAID!
