He's old school. He can sacrifice 1,000 union jobs for a splashy environmental headline. Even the AFL/CIO boss didn't hammer him very hard on that.
But he can't sacrifice several hundred thousand union jobs across the airline, travel, and tourism industries. That's cutting too deep into the base.
Floating trial balloons on this stuff may be some recon by fire... a bunch of CEO's (and presumably union leaders) demanding an audience at the White House probably answers his question. I hope.
