The union has secured that workers at General Motors’ joint-venture battery plants will be covered under the Big Three master agreement. It’s a major step in a just transition.
@tintory This better just be the start. These workers should understand there won’t be as many jobs in building EVs and making batteries or maintenance at dealerships. Instead there will be new jobs in building and maintening solar farms and charging stations all over the country. States should be running job retraining programs to prepare the workforce. Becoming a skilled electrician will make a very good career. Buildings and homes are also being converted to use electricity more and oil products less. It is better to start sooner than later.

I used to build maintenance apps for a logistics company, and one thing I learn is that you should be suprise on what kind of jobs will pop up
