A headline grab that sends union jobs to other states. Pause the pause. https://t.co/9pOxALla2P

.@GovPritzker's data center pause suspends the protections that guarantee wages and benefits for Illinois union workers. Those data centers will still be built — just in Indiana and Ohio, without our workers or clean energy standards. Pause the pause https://t.co/KFiAD3Xrkf

.@GovPritzker's data center tax credit pause is a will cost IL workers & gut the tax revenue that funds schools & helps homeowners save on property taxes. It doesn't help consumers. It just sends jobs & 💸 to other states. Pause the pause https://t.co/dvFIAsbHYC

Labor and climate aren't competing priorities. They're the same fight.

When working people lead the clean energy transition, everyone benefits:

💵good wages
🌎cleaner air
🌇stronger communities

Clean energy jobs should be good jobs.

That means prevailing wages, union representation, and real career pathways.

That's what we're fighting for in Illinois.

Pausing IL's data center incentives puts union jobs and clean energy investment at risk. These facilities mean billions in investment and thousands of good-paying union jobs for IL workers.

A pause will just send these project to other states: https://t.co/sU7wQUEJ5X

Nuclear power is on the rise in IL—it's no coincidence.

When we fought for the Climate & Equitable Jobs Act, CJI proposed these Carbon Credits to give nuclear plants an economic lifeline.

Now those plants are expanding to meet today's clean energy needs

On CJI's concerns: "A data center developer could meet IL's clean energy obligations by building a nonunion solar project in Ohio, Missouri or Indiana then count it toward their IL requirements, collect IL incentives & generate none of the benefits here” https://t.co/s9Bsd1qxGS

"Joe Duffy of Climate Jobs Illinois said his organization supports the goals of the POWER Act ...but it has concerns about whether the renewable generation projects required in the bill will be held to union labor standards"

Illinois workers built the steel mills, the highways, the power plants.They'll build the solar farms, the wind turbines, and the grid of the future.Same hands. New tools. Same union pride. #ClimateJobsIL #UnionProud

[Climate Jobs Illinois @ClimateJobsIL]

Chicago is ranked #1 in the Midwest for workforce development, and it's because unions helped build and refine the model.

Aon literally said it: they copied "the model perfected by labor unions over the last hundred years."

Apprenticeship works.

Workers built Illinois. They should build its clean energy future, too. Join the movement at https://t.co/asxR2Zw9sc

A wind turbine doesn't build itself. Solar doesn't install itself. Illinois needs a trained, skilled union workforce to build the clean energy future. It with with investing in apprenticeship and workforce development.

Prevailing wages. Project labor agreements. Local hiring requirements.

These aren't just union priorities — they're the building blocks of a clean energy economy that works for everyone in Illinois, not just shareholders.

[Climate Jobs Illinois @ClimateJobsIL]

The clean energy transition only works if workers are trained and ready. Illinois is building the workforce pipeline — and Climate Jobs Illinois is helping lead the way.

[Climate Jobs Illinois @ClimateJobsIL]

Illinois' clean energy sector is one of the fastest-growing sources of good-paying jobs in the state. We're working to make sure those jobs come with strong wages, benefits, and a path forward.

#ClimateJobsIllinois #ILCleanEnergy #GoodJobs

[Climate Jobs Illinois @ClimateJobsIL]

From solar to efficiency to workforce training — Illinois' clean energy economy is growing. @ClimateJobsIL is here to make sure the jobs are good ones. #ClimateJobsIllinois

[Climate Jobs Illinois @ClimateJobsIL]

The clean energy transition is happening. The question is who benefits. Climate Jobs IL's mission is to make sure the answer is Illinois workers and communities. #CEJA #ILCleanEnergy

“Solar power is good for our future...it’s clean...it helps cut down on pollution. It can lower energy costs & create new jobs like the internship I applied for & using solar energy now helps make the world safer and healthier for the next generation.” https://t.co/HjWSfQUVZQ
