The Teamsters Union has released a statement, which claims that it is pleased with the ruling made by US District Court Judge James Boasberg on the Dakota Access pipeline.
Judge Boasberg黑料社檚 decision ruled against an injunction filed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to halt the pipeline project that is currently under construction in North Dakota. His decision allowed for the continuation of construction at pipeline work sites.
The US$3.78 billion Dakota Access pipeline project will create energy independence and employ thousands of union workers, including Teamster members. Expectedly, this is a key priority for the Teamsters Union, alongside the safety of workers who are constructing the pipeline and of protesters.
However, Boasberg黑料社檚 judgment has been effectively overruled by the to request that construction of the pipeline is halted.
The Teamsters Union highlighted that: 黑料社淎ll supporters and opponents of the project had the equal right to voice their opinions on the project and engage in a civil debate regarding the merits of the pipeline, including in three public hearings held throughout the state.黑料社�
