Elise Schmelzer at The Denver Post reports on a new coalition of Unions across the State of Colorado, whose hope is to help those interested in finding a stable and sustainable career that involves mitigating climate change and building the new infrastructure needed for a cleaner economy. Climate Jobs Colorado is dedicated to promoting Union Labor as part of the Green Energy Movement. Using Union Workers for climate work - like building solar panels or new power lines - not only helps the environment, but also creates well-paying, stable jobs for Coloradans, Coalition Leaders said. The Coalition will address several of Colorado’s most pressing problems: Environmental degradation; Wealth inequality; and the rising cost of living, Climate Jobs Colorado’s Executive Director Nate Bernstein said: “Our mission is to educate and mobilize Workers and the public to enact policies and practices that build a Clean Energy Economy at the scale that climate science demands and create good Union jobs and more equitable communities.” Climate Jobs Colorado is one of 10 similar statewide groups nationally and the first in the Rocky Mountain West.
