The GOP has been fighting Big Labor for years, but Dems know that they have lost the war when the GOP stands with Big Labor against the Green New Deal, whatever the hell that is.

National Review:   Representatives of America’s largest organized-labor group predicted that the recently introduced Green New Deal resolution would bring “immediate harm” to millions of workers if enacted in a letter sent to the plan’s sponsors on Friday.
“We welcome the call for labor rights and dialogue with labor, but the Green New Deal resolution is far too short on specific solutions that speak to the jobs of our members and the critical sections of our economy,” reads the letter, which was signed by ten national labor unions on the AFL-CIO’s energy committee. “We will not accept proposals that could cause immediate harm to millions of our members and their families. We will not stand by and allow threats to our members’ jobs and their families’ standard of living go [sic] unanswered.”
The Green New Deal resolution, which was introduced by Senator Ed Markey (D., Mass.) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), calls for a massive restructuring
of the American economy in order to completely phase out the use of fossil fuels within ten years. The plan, which has received the support of every major Democratic presidential contender, promises to retrofit every building in the country with renewable-energy technology and provide a well-paying job in the clean-energy sector to every American who wants one.
