{"product_id":"unjust-transition","title":"Unjust Transition By Eaton , Emily","description":"In 2019, Regina's Co-op Refinery Complex (CRC), a subsidiary of Federated Co-operative, locked out Unifor Local 594 after collective bargaining negotiations failed. CRC used the transition to a \"low carbon\" future as the justification for concessions on working conditions and reducing the workers' pension plan. The lockout demonstrates what a \"just transition\" means to fossil fuel corporations: rollbacks of collective bargaining, worker rights, cooperative spirit and environmental justice. In the name of a new future, Federated Co-operative and the Saskatchewan government trampled all over important worker rights -- the right to strike and picket, occupational health and safety, pensions and collective bargaining. It also highlights the sorry state of co-operative values in Canada. As corporations and governments are poised to make a transition that will be detrimental to workers and communities, this books argues that solidarity between unions and community movements is absolutely necessary to make the transition away from fossil fuels a just one.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57642991321470,"sku":"NW9781773636726","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781773636726.jpg?v=1783193037","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/unjust-transition","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
