Six major unions beg the Senate to stop EPA coal regulations

The Daily Caller reports:

President Barack Obama’s crackdown on coal-fired power plants is getting major pushback from a traditional Democratic ally: Unions.

Six unions are petitioning the Senate to hold hearings on Environmental Protection Agency coal plant rules.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and five other unions sent a letter to top senators on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to hold hearings on the economic impacts of the EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) rule.
