CRC used the transition to a \"low carbon\" future as the justification for concessions on working conditions and reducing the workers' pension plan. The lockout demonstrates what a \"just transition\" means to fossil fuel corporations: rollbacks of collective bargaining, worker rights, cooperative spirit and environmental justice. In the name of a new future, Federated Co-operative and the Saskatchewan government trampled all over important worker rights -- the right to strike and picket, occupational health and safety, pensions and collective bargaining. It also highlights the sorry state of co-operative values in Canada. As corporations and governments are poised to make a transition that will be detrimental to workers and communities, this books argues that solidarity between unions and community movements is absolutely necessary to make the transition away from fossil fuels a just one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41722220183649,"sku":"9781773636726","price":16.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26669358.jpg?v=1721913143","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781773636726-unjust-transition","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
