Washington -- The United Auto Workers union urged Congress on Monday to reject efforts to bar the Obama administration from setting the first-ever limits on tailpipe emissions.
Alan Reuther, the union's legislative director, said in a letter Monday that efforts by Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Ala., and others to bar the Environmental Protection Agency from declaring greenhouse gases a danger to public health were "misguided."
"The UAW also is deeply concerned that overturning EPA's endangerment finding would unravel the historic agreement on one national standard for fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions for light-duty vehicles that was negotiated by the Obama administration last year," Reuther wrote.
