GMB Scotland Secretary Gary Smith receiving a briefing in Aberdeen today from our Organiser Mel on the work of @AREGtweet. Really interesting developments on renewables, including with hydrogen for transport. There are 2 hydrogen refuelling facilities now in Aberdeen.

📷 from last week's @TUED_global meeting on reclaiming UK energy to public, democratic control, showing solidarity with the workers in Fife fighting for their livelihoods through the #ReadyForRenewal campaign.

We need an honest conversation about how we reduce carbon, meet our energy needs and produce real jobs for working-class communities in Scotland. https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/scotland-wind-power-gmb

“Securing decent jobs in the renewables industry and its supply chain, and fairness in how decarbonisation costs are met, is now paramount”. https://www.energyvoice.com/otherenergy/203245/uk-government-must-be-clear-on-who-pays-for-clean-energy-revolution/

Read the stories of the workers fighting to save their jobs through the #AskThe700 campaign.👇🏻 “We are not shutting up. We are not going down without a fight”. https://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/17759476.glasgow-lap-dancers-speak-threat-close-clubs/

"Our members who deliver the services are at breaking point". Gary Smith spoke to @BBCJohnBeattie today about the challenges facing Glasgow after a decade of cuts and managed decline. We need a new deal for Glasgow to get the respect our members and this city deserve.

“It seems utterly astonishing that, at no point in that symbiotic relationship, did Scottish Ministers obtain bankable assurances – legal, moral or political – about what was in it for Scottish jobs and industry.” #ReadyForRenewal https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/brian-wilson-fife-offshore-windfarm-scandal-should-see-snp-ministers-sacked-1-4959930

GMB Scotland’s Michael Sullivan addressing today’s #ReadyForRenewal demo outside the offices of @EDF_Renewables. Michael told a community meeting 2 weeks ago that he was “battle weary”, but he’s leading the fight to bring renewables jobs to the yards in Fife.

Grateful to @MaritimeUnionAU for this letter of solidarity ahead of today's #ReadyForRenewal demonstration at @EDF_Renewables' office in Edinburgh. There will be no just transition, in Scotland or anywhere else, without the guarantee of good union jobs in renewables.

The @scotgov went to court, using taxpayers’ money, to secure the go-ahead for @EDF_Renewables NnG project, and the huge subsidies afforded to the project will be paid for by flat levies on our energy bills. It’s only right we see our share of the work. https://www.energyvoice.com/otherenergy/202962/scottish-based-wind-firms-literally-shipping-profits-abroad-unions-say/

GMB Scotland's Gary Smith spoke to #BBCGMS this morning about the ongoing fight for fabrication work for @EDF_Renewables' NnG project to be done here in Scotland. Fife is #ReadyForRenewal, only "political failure and corporate greed" is holding it back.

"If we cannot achieve work in Fife from this massive development, then we will simply not achieve any renewables industry of scale in Scotland. We think that the people of Scotland will come to regard that as a scandal." Our joint letter with @UniteScotland to @DerekMackaySNP.
