Fallout on Obama’s Killing of Keystone Jobs Continues as “Repulsed” Laborers’ Union Quits Alliance
22nd January 2012
The fallout over Barack Obama’s decision to kill 20,000 (mostly) union jobs on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project continues as the Laborers International Union of North America left the BlueGreen Alliance Friday afternoon.
Founded in 2006, the BlueGreen Alliance is a political pairing of left-wing unions and environmental groups whose mission (so to speak) is to ensure that America’s conversion to a green economy results in union jobs as jobs in industries like coal are destroyed.
Heh. Pass the popcorn.

I frankly never understood why anyone ever thought that environmentalsits and unions had any goals in common.
