Now Available! "This book is an incredible (and rare) collection from both organizers and scholars on the key challenge of the twenty-first century: how to transform the world of work toward rapid decarbonization." -Matthew T. Huber buff.ly/3yCaJqS #ClimateChange

EXCLUSIVE: @NLRBGC Jennifer Abruzzo lays out her plan to end the union-busting tactics companies use to fight workers.
She wants to restore the Joy Silk Doctrine, forcing employers to recognize a union when workers show majority support.
It could broadly increase unionization.

Richard Lachman: The costs of transition to a green energy future are clearly less than the costs of avoiding that change, but they would be borne by different people. Right now, beneficiaries of old systems block or slow transition. Can we change this? @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal

Employment in education and caring occupations is large but underpaid. It should become larger and much better paid. These are low-carbon jobs and jobs needed for coping with our transition. @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal

@stephanie_luce_ Step #1 is to organize work to meet human needs, including taking care of one another as climate change creates new challenges. #GreenNewDeal @GNDWork

@clarkamiller Our choice is not really coal or nuclear vs solar or other renewables. It is how to structure growing reliance on renwables. #GreenNewDeal @GNDWork #asu

@clarkamiller Energy needs to be more at the center of the #GreenNewDeal discussion. We have a unique historical opportunity to rethink and redesign our whole relationship to energy. @GNDWork

Jose Lobo suggests #GreenNewDeal intersects with technologies that bring huge promise - and peril - depending on how they are used: AI, autonomous robotics, and quantum computing. They are basic to social transformation but thinking is underdeveloped. @GNDWork.

@abenanav Big challenge, though: Can the #GreenNewDeal be scaled globally? Does it have to be? Can there be justice if it isn’t? @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal
The Green New Deal and the Future of Work retweeted
@abenanav The very idea of GNP proved to be a problem - partly because it made all growth appear equally good. It encouraged seeking too much growth and obscured attention both to inequality and to differences in social benefit among sectors and products. @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal

@wilson_sherwin lays out the history of US workers’ struggles against being forced to work so much - not least in the face of the last 50 years of increased pressures to work more. This is oppressive for many professionals and far worse for low-wage workers.@GNDWork #GreenNewDeal

@jmijincha: Do coal miners get so much attention because they are mostly white and male. In KY and WV they are also poor, but not, e.g., in Wyoming where they benefit from a state-protected boom. Are they entitled to special ‘just transition’ payments? @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal

Todd Vachon: We have to face capitalism: exploiting workers maximally, exploiting nature maximally. @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal
The Green New Deal and the Future of Work retweeted
Todd Vachon traces the decline of unions, the growth of inequality, disempowerment before climate change, and ways environmental injustice grows worse. @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal

From the audience: can we tackle climate change without dismantling white supremacy? When we advocate the #GreenNewDeal are we compromising too much with growth ideologies the planet can’t stand? @GNDWork

@kateknuth: when we rightly call for social transformation, we shouldn’t forget all the powers, with all the money (esp aftr #CitizensUnited) that will fight back against the change. #GreenNewDeal @GNDWork

@mendezforaz: it’s time to invite 16 year olds to vote in state and local elections. Counter apathy, build participation, and focus attention on policies like the #GreenNewDeal that speak to the future of today’s new voters. @GNDWork #asu

@mendezforaz: changing politics and economics has to go hand in hand with changing culture and society. We need to be clear we aren’t asking people for new sacrifices because they are already sacrificing to sustain the system producing the problems. @GNDWork #GreenNewDeal #asu
