PIpe fitters loss is teamsters gain
The oil is going into an existing pipeline or to be hauled by trucks and trains instead.
In a lot of ways Its a net sum zero. Excess pipeline capacity lets some the businesses automate transportation and reduce long term employment.
I love automation, but to pretend it does anything other than eliminate jobs and boost profits ignores the reason businesses love to automate in the first place.
The decision itself is purely symbolic. The oil is still going to flow. Doubtless why Tuck is so upset is the decision symbolizes his own loss of influence as the new President doesn't binge watch cable news or listen to Tuck.
