President Biden is facing the inevitable clash of trying to reconcile his aggressive pro-union agenda with actions supposedly designed to push a Green agenda. Democrats are initiating new legislation that supposedly promote zero-emission infrastructure, while laden with pro-union shackles that the business community believes are not reasonable or will do irreparable damage to many sectors of the economy, particularly smaller businesses. Biden’s moves to freeze new oil leasing on public lands and cancel the Keystone XL pipeline already had the business community, and unions, up in arms. Many of the unions that ardently supported the Biden campaign are lining up against threats to other pipelines and oil and gas industry infrastructure jobs.
