The IBEW and the AFL-CIO on Wednesday announced an innovative partnership with former Energy Secretary Ernie Moniz aimed at protecting jobs while moving the U.S. toward a carbon-free energy future.
The arrangement, called the Labor Energy Partnership, will bring together Moniz’s Energy Futures Initiatives with the AFL-CIO’s more than 12.5 million working men and women to develop policy proposals for a 21st Century energy system that creates and preserves quality jobs while addressing the climate crisis.
“As the vice-chair of the AFL-CIO’s Energy Committee, I’m thrilled to be a part of this new effort to find solutions to one of the greatest challenges of our time,” said International President Lonnie R. Stephenson.
