Workers have been excluded from transition planning and face mounting barriers to moving into the renewables industry. We must nurture the skills already in the workforce, skill-up where needed and create new green jobs.

The North Sea is a battleground for workers’ rights. We must close loopholes that leave migrant workers on poverty pay, end blacklisting and strengthen unions.

Aberdeen is ‘the oil and gas capital of Europe’, but local people don’t get a look in on huge profits. We need an energy system that works for everyone - publicly owned companies that reinvest in communities.

The climate and labour movements are stronger together. As workers across industries and across the world rise up for fairer, safer conditions, we stand with the oil and gas workers demanding change.

Join us, alongside @FoEScot, to discuss #OurPower - how we did it, how you can get involved and what comes next. Together we can build power behind a worker-led just transition.

Well argued. Powerful. You have my support. Good luck!

@libcomorg Workers control is a solution to these problems, not nationalisation unfortunately. We should run things to protect the environment and for the needs of all!

@Common_Weal Great initiative folks. Grow this platform👍

Is there a particular union or representative body which represents these workers on the day to day?
