Congress and the Biden Administration are pouring billions of dollars into the fight against climate change. Across the country, clean energy developers are rushing to take advantage of this investment.
#LIUNA members stand in solidarity with immigrant brothers and sisters who are being exploited by irresponsible employers. #YaNoMas #NotOnMyWatch #EndWageTheft
Read this op-ed in @MNReformer by CTUL member Mario Segura on the human impact of wage theft and how this pervasive problem in the construction industry harms families. The people who build our homes and infrastructure deserve better. minnesotareformer.com/2022/01/19/wor…
“The investment will increase work hours for our members by 30-50% and effectively pave the way to the middle class for this generation of trades workers and the next one.” #LIUNA #InfrastructureDecade #FeelThePower ktoe.com/2021/11/10/mn-…
THANK YOU to the more than 3,000 #LIUNA MN and ND brothers and sisters, friends and family members who sent messages to Congress for months. Our hard work helped deliver safer infrastructure and good family-sustaining jobs for the next decade.
"Of the roughly $1 trillion in the #infrastructure bill, Minnesota is set to receive an estimated $6.8 billion." This is the equivalent of 3-4+ state bonding bills! minnpost.com/national/2021/… #LIUNA
MN @AFLCIO President Bill McCarthy & Secretary-Treasurer Brad Lehto out supporting local workers failed by @MarathonPetroCo’s poor safety standards. #SafeandSecureMN #BoycottSpeedway #MarathonFailsUs #1u @BuildBetterMN @MNBldgTrades
Proud to call Newport Council member Chapdelaine a friend and partner to keep our communities safe!
With 10+ yrs as a Health, Safety & Environmental Mgr. w/in refineries, power plants, & chemical plants, Ben Weideman testified, "Hands down, nothing increases the safe operation of a refinery more than a well-trained workforce." #MNLeg needs to pass the Safe &Skilled Wf Act!
Dr. @lucasfranco5: Eyewitness reports indicate that Marathon has brought in non-local workers who clearly lack a basic knowledge of their jobs, refinery hazards, and/or safety procedures. #MNTrades #MNLeg WATCH: youtu.be/ruHImMXby4M
.@StarTribune reports on growing concern over safety at Marathon Petroleum's St. Paul Park Refinery startribune.com/labor-union-st…
ICYMI: Worker group alleges unsafe practices at Marathon Minnesota refinery aflcio.mn/3nqAfJI #MarathonFailsUs #BoycottSpeedway @MNBldgTrades @LIUNAMinnesota @BuildBetterMN #1u
The Marathon refinery in St Paul Park replaced skilled local workers with out of state workers. Let’s replace Marathon-owned/supplied @Speedway and buy gas at stations that support local workers. #boycottMarathon #SafeandSecureMN #MarathonFailsUs
Filled the tank today. But not @Speedway. I'm standing with @Teamsters120 and locked out workers. Locking people out if their living is unacceptable and unethical. #MNAgainstMarathon #MarathonFailsUs
"But a green capitalist is still a capitalist, and they don’t want a union.” - @ErikLoomis We can build support for investments in wind & solar by ensuring these news jobs are family-supporting union jobs for local workers. #cleanenergy #1u vox.com/22301534/major…
President Biden has made no secret of his intention to link labor unions and clean energy, but companies are not rolling out the welcome mat. nytv.to/2zLRw
East Coast states have outlined plans to build 29 GWs of offshore wind capacity in the next decade — nearly equal to the generating capacity of all New England power plants. But those projects have been hamstrung by permitting delays over Vineyard Wind. nytv.to/Gmp92
So much more, it's worth an @EENewsUpdates subscription (they publish dozens of stories like this every day).
Re-upping w/version avail. to non-subscribers eenews.net/stories/106372…
Incredible storytelling by @EENewsUpdates's @davidferris on a successful campaign by @LIUNAMinnesota and fellow trades to made sure #cleanenergy jobs are as good & available to local workers as traditional energy jobs. eenews.net/energywire/202… (paywall)
The #CleanEnergyFirst act will help MN move as quickly as the tech. allows toward decarbonization while ensuring our future economic competitiveness, and a just transition for workers in the energy sector. Thank you Reps. @zackstephenson and @Jamiemlong for leading this. #MNLeg
Clean energy projects have created hundreds of good jobs for #Minnesota workers since @MN_PUC instituted reporting requirements. But in North Dakota, the industry is leaving too many locals behind, and @LIUNAMinnesota and others want legislators to act. bit.ly/2MFJcAC
