Where will they workers go? They should be central to building the new green economy!

All workers deserve a fair & equal rate of pay for the job they do. Bilfinger contractors are currently paid less than any other in the North Sea.
Unite Industrial Officer Shauna Wright is calling on Bilfinger to get around the table & bring their rates up for our members.

🔥 COMING UP! 🔥 What is a worker-led energy transition?
Hear from offshore workers about their industry conditions + priorities for a just energy transition. Followed by a panel discussion.
Join us on Tues 8 Dec from 7-8:30pm, sign up: https://t.co/T18MUyYVQ2
Yet again, the communities that rely on BiFab have been let down by both Governments.
As we approach the Scottish Parliament elections, we must make this the election defining issue.
We need a worker-led transition now.
Our members learning of this through the media makes a mockery of the so called "Fair Work" agenda.
BiFab is our best shot at a supply chain for offshore wind, & until ScotGov publish the legal advice over its decision to walk away; the difficult questions remain unanswered.
It's tomorrow! "Is the Scottish government failing to provide a just transition?" Come and join us, @rmtunion, @FoEScot & @unitescotland at #STUC20 https://t.co/VbE46xtG5P
Rank hypocrisy from @Douglas4Moray here. This year 100s of his constituents have contacted him asking him to support Unite's plan to #SaveOffShore.
He ignored them.
We don't need warm words, we need serious political action.

.@FionaHyslop is blaming Canadian partners of @scotgov, in failing to reopen #BiFab yards to build offshore wind platforms, for refusing to take financial risk.
Their response: bewilderment:

Where are the workers? If politicians won’t include us them it’s up to the workers and their unions take hold of the conversation for their own benefit. #SaveOffShore#FairWorkForWho
2 projects worth £5bn with 168 wind turbine jackets required, & not one will be built in Scotland !
This devastating news is a scandalous end to a decade which started with promises of a “Saudi Arabia of Renewables”.
Hear Scottish Secretary Pat Rafferty's full statement here :
Like @uniteoffshore says, this is an 'unforgivable political failure'. Another example of @scotgov's failure to meet #JustTransition rhetoric with action
