Last year, the AFL-CIO and the president of that union, Richard Trumka, were proud to endorse Joe Biden for president:

Fast forward to what happened on Biden’s very first day in office and things are already growing sour:
Trumka takes an early whack at Biden for stopping the Keystone pipeline, telling @jonathanvswan @axios
"I wish he hadn't done that on the first day…It did and will cost us jobs…I wish he had paired that more carefully [with creating jobs].”

Did Trumka really not see that coming?
Never would have guessed people wouldn't take people for their words. Weird

Union leaders who endorsed Biden just can't believe he did the most predictable thing ever. https://t.co/jaAVB0Jx9R

I've seen many of interviews with Trumka. I never seen him look that uncomfortable while doing one.

Just wait and see how uncomfortable union bosses get in the coming weeks and months as the Biden administration continues to nuke jobs.
