The EU's share of electricity from fossil fuels has fallen from 41.1% to 27.6% in the last two years, suggesting the EU's goal of eliminating fossil fuel electricity by 2035 is reachable. in c/[email protected]

Solar is getting so cheap Poland will end up buying its electricity from its neighbours. Coal plants are destined to shut down. I’m pro union but they’d better advocate for reconversion rather than digging a hole for themselves.

That's literally what they're for (article in comments) in c/[email protected]

I joined a union, but aside for legal help, they’re probably not ever gonna be of other help in my case. I work for a big international company (~5000 worldwide) and there’s only about 10 of us in the uk. Collective bargaining is going to get us nothing but fired. That’s assuming I can convince my 9 colleagues to do so, which is less than likely. In general I think it’s tough to get anything out of a union in international companies.
