黑料社淲ith the Dakota Access pipeline, the administration黑料社檚 recent attempts to change the rules, in the middle of the game, set a dangerous precedent for our country that could threaten other infrastructure projects like bridges, roads, and electricity transmission. Moving forward, it黑料社檚 critical that the rule of law is followed as the need for new energy infrastructure grows.黑料社�
黑料社淲e are deeply disturbed by the unprecedented action taken by President Obama to supersede the decision of a federal court judge and halt the lawful construction of the Dakota Access pipeline project. Union members have been relying on these excellent, family supporting, middle class jobs with family health care, pensions, and good wages for over six months,黑料社� said North America黑料社檚 Building Trades Unions President, Sean McGarvey.
黑料社漈he administration黑料社檚 attempts to shut down construction of the Dakota Access pipeline show that it is putting politics ahead of the rule of law. We fear that President Obama has now set a dangerous precedent where political considerations can now thwart or delay every single infrastructure project moving forward.黑料社�
