佩顿·威尔金斯: 气候行动中的工会

气候行动中的工会

从长远来看，关闭煤矿意味着更清洁的空气和更健康的环境；但从短期来看，它可能会摧毁一个依靠煤矿工资维持生计的社区或家庭。环境正义倡导者Payton M. Wilkins认为，我们可以通过一个古老的解决方案来保护工人和地球：工会。他深入探讨了放弃化石燃料的经济后果，并展示了为什么工会在推动向清洁能源和绿色就业过渡方面处于有利地位。

Moving away from fossil fuels promises cleaner air, but it can devastate families and towns that rely on coal jobs. When a coal mine closes, paychecks, pensions, and community stability often vanish overnight. By forging deep conversations and genuine partnerships, unions have helped protect workers through history's toughest transitions—from Memphis sanitation strikes to Denmark's wind energy shift. Harnessing this legacy, unions can guide a just transition where no one is left behind.
