But there are significant tensions among environmentalists, the president\u2019s team addressing climate change and some parts of the labor movement,\u201d Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/richard-trumka-keystone-pipeline-joe-biden-62703d74-64b8-4c01-bee3-44f55d007ca1.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe Laborers\u2019 International Union of North America said the Keystone decision will cost 1,000 existing union jobs and 10,000 projected construction jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I wish he had not done that on the first day because the Labor\u2019s International was right, it did and will cost us jobs in the process,\u201d Trumka said. \u201cI wish he had paired that more carefully with the thing that he did second by saying, here\u2019s where we are creating jobs, we can do mine reclamation, we can fix leaks, and we can fix seeps, and create hundreds of thousands in doing all of that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trumka said that he \u201cthinks\u201d that Biden realizes it was a mistake to sign the executive order costing Americans jobs during the middle of a pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Trumka was then asked if he agreed with the following statement from the Laborers\u2019 International Union of North America:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>We support the president\u2019s campaign to Build Back Better. Killing good union jobs on day 1 with nothing to replace them is not building back better.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Trumka responded in agreement with the statement. Regarding how comfortable he was with Biden\u2019s plan to ban fracking on federal lands, Trumka paused for several moments before saying that it needed to be studied and thought through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you destroy 100 jobs in Greene County, Pennsylvania, where I grew up, and you create 100 jobs in California, it doesn\u2019t do those 100 families much good,\u201d Trumka said. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking at a pipeline and you\u2019re saying we\u2019re going to put it down, now what are you going to do to create the same good-paying jobs in that area?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, when they laid off at the mines back in Pennsylvania, they told us they were going to train us to be computer programmers,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I said, \u2018Where are the computer programmer jobs at?\u2019 \u2018Uh, they\u2019re in, uh, Oklahoma and they\u2019re in Vegas and they\u2019re here.\u2019 And I said, \u2018So, in other words, what we\u2019re going to be is unemployed miners and unemployed computer programmers as well.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trumka noted that \u201cculture\u201d is \u201cvery, very important\u201d to union members and that politicians in Washington, D.C., do not understand.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichardTrumka?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RichardTrumka<\/a> completely missed the political realignment.
