A prominent union boss warned on Wednesday that Democrats will pay for blocking the Keystone XL pipeline.
“For every action, there’s a reaction, and our members’ reaction will be felt in the next election,” Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), told PoliticoPro.
LIUNA, like many unions, gave generously to the Democrats during the midterm elections. The union gave more than $2.3 million to Democratic candidates and $920,000 to the party’s main super PACs for 2014.
O’Sullivan went on to say the Democrats who voted against the pipeline, “took food off the table of our members, and we don’t take that lightly.”
He then vowed “to assess from top to bottom who we give to, what we give.”
“Every president has to speak for their own membership,” O’Sullivan added. “Our membership is repulsed and disgusted.”
