Maine Labor Climate Council

The Maine Labor Climate Council is a coalition of labor unions united to combat climate change and reverse economic inequality.

You can’t earn trust in rural areas for the buildout of the clean energy transition when private equity investors are literally buying whole communities and squeezing working Mainers. So we’re organizing alongside residents to help them take back control of their communities.

[Maine Labor Climate Council @ME_LaborClimate]

We’re organizing alongside residents in 60+ mobile home parks across the state, continuing the long tradition of working Mainers fighting back.

Sun Communities is the second-largest corporate owner of mobile home parks in the country.

Ever since they bought Riverside Drive Park in Augusta, rates have climbed, conditions have declined, and services have disappeared.

Residents get the bill when park-owned trees fall on their properties. Folks can't access their rental contracts. The mailroom's a dump. An outdated bridge had its weight limit sign removed. Water gets shut off without notice.

Now, many residents tell me they’re afraid to speak out for fear of eviction.

This stuff has to end. As governor, I’ll rein in private equity's runaway greed and invest in safe, quality public housing for Mainers. Read about my plan here: https://t.co/rVaHqcDYm8

The @ME_LaborClimate & manufactured park residents held a rally last week to call on the Augusta City Council to pass a temporary rent moratorium and a rent stabilization ordinance to prevent massive lot rent increases. https://t.co/V4UnIekK60

"The overarching message to young folks wanting to come into the trades is, despite this uncertainty that the federal government has placed upon this industry, come to Maine. Come join one of our unions," said @ME_LaborClimate's Francis Eanes.

[Maine Labor Climate Council @ME_LaborClimate]

@MaineMorninStar “Together, these ambitious bills put Maine on a pathway to energy independence and affordability, and will create thousands of good-paying Maine jobs,” said Francis Eanes, Executive Director of @ME_LaborClimate.

Maine just passed a host of major clean energy bills that will position our state as a national leader in building a clean energy economy that’s rooted in strong labor standards and family-sustaining union jobs.

In a @bangordailynews op-ed, Grant Provost calls on Maine’s Congressional leaders to defend federal clean energy tax credits as the budget process plays out in the Senate. ⬇️

[Maine Labor Climate Council @ME_LaborClimate]

Unions and climate advocates gathered in Bangor last week to urge Maine’s leaders to protect clean energy tax credits that are powering our economy, bringing costs down for working families and creating good-paying jobs across the state.

The elimination of critical federal energy investments creates massive uncertainty for energy companies, imperiling energy projects — and the livelihoods of union workers — that are already in the pipeline to be developed across our state.
