We're very proud of our member co-op, Earthworker Energy Manufacturing Cooperative in Morwell, for their work in developing innovative emergency battery systems. They've just got a Vic Gov grant to take these products to the next step! #MadeInMorwell #Manufacturing #ClimateAction
Congratulations to one of our owners, @Earthworkercoop, who've won funding to develop and locally manufacture portable solar-battery systems to assist during extreme weather events. 🦺⚡️

Surprised to see electricity retailer #Powershop snapped up by fossil fuel giant #Shell?
We're a proud co-founder of @Co_Power_, a #democratic #cooperative #electricity retailer.

“Earthworker is about trying to breakdown and tackle that false jobs-versus-environment choice we are supposedly forced to make, and to break that down through building democratic and sustainable economies,"@DanMcMusil from @Earthworkercoop @GriffithReview griffithreview.com/articles/…
Thanks to @JarniBlakkarly for the write up about @EemcEnergy #manufacturing and our other #coops, working to build more #sustainable, #fair, & #Democratic ways to meet our needs. @GriffithReview
Very excited to be included in the upcoming edition of the @GriffithReview 'Hey Utopia!'. My piece of reportage follows the work of Australia's only workers-owned manufacturing cooperative in the coal-dominated Latrobe Valley @Earthworkercoop griffithreview.com/editions/…
We're proud to be a member and co-founder of @Co_Power_ !

Very exciting. We've been following, and strongly support the important work of the Hunter Jobs Alliance

There is huge potential for job creation in emissions reduction: @dylanjmcconnell's research showed that Victoria has the opportunity to create as many as 50,000 jobs in everything from offshore wind to public transport, manufacturing and more #VicTargets #Springst #Gippsnews
Earthworker Cooperative retweeted
Dr @dylanjmcconnell says the report models emissions reduction in multiple sectors across the economy. New renewable energy projects like the #StarOfTheSouth offshore wind proposal will play a critical role in cutting greenhouse gas emissions #VicTargets #springst #Gippsnews
"Workers own the wealth - isn't it time we owned the future too?" Earthworker co-founder Dave Kerin & Secretary @DanMcMusil have their say in this new article. What do you reckon? #economic #democracy #superannuation #auspol2021 #EconomicJustice #ClimateCrisis
Establishing democratic control over pension funds is one of the most urgent issues confronting the Australian labor movement. Workers own the wealth — isn’t it about time they owned the future, too? jacobinmag.com/2021/02/austr…

We can do so much better than this. Australian workers know the writing is on the wall when it comes to fossil fuels. Let's lay the groundwork to allow our workers to lead in sustainable industries of the future with decent and secure jobs. We've got the skills to aim high.

This could have been avoided.
* 10 days paid pandemic leave
* Lifting and extending #JobKeeper
* Secure, permanent #jobs
* Laws against #wagetheft
We cannot be blaming #workers for the fault lines of how our economy is built.

We're a manufacturing cooperative, in a coal region, whose worker-members are proudly @theamwu members, and we're glad to see strong and sensible union leadership on #climatechange & #manufacturing #jobs (it should be be an either/or choice!) @Murphy_Steve
“As Joel Fitzgibbon transitions to the backbench, my mind is with the thousands of workers who’ve been damaged by his lack of ambition and honesty. Our economic and energy needs are changing fast. We need to face these challenges with workers being front and centre” @Murphy_Steve
