Labor types: debunk this!
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/275974/labor-leaders-tell-obama-stop-killing-jobs-deroy-murdock

This article says that Labor is telling Obama that the EPA is killing jobs. It also said the unions were hurt by the tax on luxury planes. Not that i trust National Review,l but I find it hard to believe that the AFL-CIO would be so right wing. I trust this will be happily debunked (Omaha Steve, I am flying the Bat Signal!)

2. Many coal miners are definitely anti EPA and many employees
in local coal fired power plants are too. I don't know what the official union position is on it.

3. a coal miner's only choice is coal mining or starvation.
If they could make what money the make by doing something else less filthy and dangerous, they would.
