The Warm Homes Plan can't retrofit 5 million homes by contracting out to a workforce that's poorly paid, employed on temporary contracts & largely de-unionised - without repeating past failures. New report from @cmmonwealth.bsky.social calls for a stable skilled workforce within the public sector.👍

The energy company obligation (ECO), a levy on bills which funds energy-efficiency schemes for low-income homes has been axed in the Budget. Unless the funding is replaced *in full* in the government's Warm Homes plan, this will be a disaster for climate action, fuel poverty and jobs.

Are you a member of a trade union? Trade unionists are calling on the Labour government to do the right thing by the planet, UK communities and workers, and refuse approval for the climate-wrecking Rosebank oil field. Sign the open letter 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Trade union members are invited to sign this call for the government to say no to drilling Rosebank, the UK's largest undeveloped oil field, and to invest in a just transition instead. #StopRosebank 👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It happened when the eyes of UK climate campaigners and journalists were on Brazil - but why did the flooding of Monmouth go so under the radar even among those of us who focus on extreme weather? As extreme floods become more common we need to talk about them more, not less!

Rachel Reeves warned that plans to cut funding for home insulation and heat pumps in the Budget would cost tens of thousands of jobs.

My colleague Leo Vincent, who is quoted in this piece, sums up my feelings about this story better than I can:

The TUC are offering a webinar next Thursday, on making social videos to stop the far right. Register here 👉 unsn.uk/TUC-farrightsocialvids 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝟏𝟑 𝐍𝐨𝐯, 𝟐𝐩𝐦 - 𝟑𝐩𝐦, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞

New TUC hub for the Year of Trade Union Climate Action. With an intro by @sarahwoolley1.bsky.social 👉 www.tuc.org.uk/blogs/year-t... "As trade unionists, we know that power concedes nothing without a fight. So, this year, we’re building power in workplaces, in communities, and across borders." 🔥

Important thread here on the possibility of scrapping ECO. I would add that when ECO was cut in 2013, 10,000 people lost their jobs. That's more than 3 times as many than Scunthorpe steel works and a whopping 20 times more than Grangemouth oil refinery

New flyers just printed with climate facts for trade unionists. Find these and more resources here: www.cacctu.org.uk/tu_yoa_resou... For the trade union climate action on Friday 14th Nov (workplace day of action for COP30) and beyond. #TUclimateaction

And as a direct result energy bills are now historically high and my son's new school has holes in the ceiling.
