Occupy Wall Street dissociates itself from “Jobs for the 99%,” which is a front for groups supporting the Keystone XL pipeline

Earlier tonight the Occupy Wall St. reached consensus on a resolution disassociating itself from JobsForThe99.com. Here's the resolution:

We propose that the GA dissociate itself from the “Jobs for the 99%,” which is a front for groups supporting the Keystone XL pipeline. This pipeline would transport tar sands oil. It would mean “game over” for the climate, pollution of pristine aquifers, the killing of long-term, existing jobs and devastation of First Nations communities.

The leadership of the unions behind this campaign have made a public alliance with the oil industry and Tea Party funders.

Big Oil and Tea Party billionaires are part of the 1%. The reference to the 99% is opportunistic and misleading.

We express solidarity with the unions that oppose Keystone XL and support a transition to a sustainable, green economy, namely the Transport Workers Union, the Amalgamated Transit Union, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Domestic Workers United. We applaud those hundreds of rank-and-file members of all unions who have publicly expressed their opposition to Keystone XL pipeline.
