Oil and gas workers form unlikely union with climate groups to support switch to renewables
Over 1,000 oil and gas workers have joined with trade unions and climate groups to call for a just transition away from fossil fuels.
The group are now urging the Scottish government to priorities #renewables and protect local jobs, communities and the climate.
Workers are demanding fair pay and protections across the industry, arguing offshore wind cannot be modeled on the “broken image” of the oil industry.
A report – “Our Power: Offshore Workers’ Demands for a Just Energy Transition” – has been published following two years of discussions.
