API President and CEO Jack Gerard and North America鶹ýӳs Building Trades Unions President, Sean McGarvey highlighted the benefits of increased energy infrastructure and discussed recent administration actions surrounding the Dakota Access pipeline and the potential impacts on the rule of law, American workers, and American consumers.

鶹ýӳInfrastructure plays a critical role in maintaining and growing America鶹ýӳs energy renaissance and it鶹ýӳs important that our energy infrastructure is able to meet the needs of consumers and our growing economy,鶹ýӳ said API President and CEO, Jack Gerard.

鶹ýӳWith the Dakota Access pipeline, the administration鶹ýӳs 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鶹ýӳs critical that the rule of law is followed as the need for new energy infrastructure grows.鶹ýӳ

鶹ýӳWe 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,鶹ýӳ said North America鶹ýӳs Building Trades Unions President, Sean McGarvey.

鶹ýӳThe administration鶹ýӳs 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.鶹ýӳ
