Hunter Jobs Alliance

Unionists and climate activists came together to rally for offshore wind.

Community organisations and unions have demonstrated their support for the Hunter Offshore Wind Farm wind power project, with more than 800 people turning out to the Hunter Workers’ action. Zane Alcorn reports.

Following Origin Energy's decision to close Eraring coal-fired power station early, calls are growing for a federal transition plan. Niko Leka reports.

In the Hunter, workers and communities are having an urgent discussion on their economy, jobs and its environmental impact, writes Steve O'Brien.

 

Protests to demand jobs and a safe environment are still necessary or we face the recurring nightmare of last summer's bushfires, argues Steve O'Brien.

Electric buses, retrofitting buildings, green aluminium smelters, offshore wind generation and mine rehabilitation are among the job creation ideas being proposed by a new union-environment alliance, reports Steve O'Brien.
