Just Transitions Summit
Thursday April 3, 2025 4:45pm - 6:00pm EDT
Jobs with Justice (JWJ) is a national network of local coalitions that are leading the fight for workers rights and an economy that works for all. Since the passing of the Bi-Partisian Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS and Science Act, Jobs with Justice has strategically engaged in opportunities to increase worker power within these federal funds. Local coalitions in our network are anchoring various campaigns and projects with union and community partners to build worker power in the clean energy sectors, leveraging the labor provisions baked into these federal funds. The geographic areas of JWJ’s coalitions engaging in this work are not limited to but do include: East Tennessee, Central Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Pennsylvania and California. There is a wide scope of goals and focus in our networks campaign and project goals, including:

  1. Increasing union density in construction, manufacturing and operations of these clean energy and decarbonization projects.
  2. Increasing representation and retainment of people of color, non-binary individuals and women in the building trades.
  3. Implementation and enforcement of Community Benefit Plans/Community Benefit Agreement provisions. 
  4. Ensuring that workers on the construction and operating sides of these projects have union neutrality, specifically in union hostile states in the regional South.
