Advancing an ambitious, pro-worker agenda to combat climate change and reverse economic inequality
We are a coalition of Maine labor unions representing working Mainers across our state. We seek to develop the labor movement’s vision for how to tackle the twin crises of climate change and inequality in a way that creates good Maine union jobs, reduces carbon emissions and economic inequality, and provides a seat at the table for workers and unions in this process. By educating fellow workers, building alliances, and advocating for policy solutions our work shows that we do not have to choose between a healthy planet and good jobs that sustain our families and communities.

Maine Climate Jobs Report
This report outlines these intersecting crises and then offers a series of “climate jobs” recommendations for Maine – a set of bold, science-based recommendations that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution at scale, create thousands of high-quality jobs, and build more resilient, equitable communities in Maine.
