On Wednesday 24th Sept, 7pm, join trade unionists and climate activists to hear what's planned for a global mobilisation on 15th November during COP30 and a workplace day of action on 14th November - and more to come in a year of trade union climate action.

Scotland's oil and gas workers feel insecure and unsupported.
They don't need soundbites, they need a workers transition to renewable energy: investment in ports and wind manufacturing, fully funded training, improved conditions, trade union rights, job guarantees, and increased public ownership.

It's not just Trump, it's the whole system.

We must take the fight to all who profit as they fuel inequality, war, genocide and climate breakdown. March with us on Saturday to Make Them Pay.

12pm, 20 Sept. Portland Place, London.

Trade union bloc is on the go in the march against racism

Climate science denier Lois Perry of the Trump-aligned Heartland Institute says how glad she is to influence Reform UK (and that electric cars are a Neo-Marxist plot to take away our freedom).

Resources to challenge Reform's myths on climate and energy:

We do agree with Unite that a fully funded workers' plan for jobs is an essential part of a rapid transition from fossil fuels.
But it is disappointing that they pushed through an amendment to Motion 75 implying that delaying climate action may be a viable option - it clearly is not.

It's great to have TUC recommitting to supporting a year of trade union climate action and days of action on 14/15 November during COP30.

Thanks to @bfawu.bsky.social for bringing Motion 75, seconded by @fbunational.bsky.social

This evening, 6.30pm - fringe meeting for TUC delegates "The climate crisis is a working class issue - building a year of trade union climate action"

Come and discuss how to put the trade union movement at the forefront of action to tackle the climate crisis!

All perfectly normal.
🧵

Labour says there’s no money left for workers.

But somehow there’s always money for war.

Trade unions are coming together, with one simple demand: wages not weapons.

Looking forward to Workers Planet tomorrow in Brighton. Here's a plug for our workshop!

New info page myth-busting Reform UK's climate denial - and more importantly flyers available to take those messages into communities around the country.

Well this is all deeply disturbing.
By the way, we've just got some new flyers out to help counter some of the myths Reform are putting out about climate and net zero - give us a shout if you'd like some!
