Thank you. 00:41:57 Rob England - The Climate Center: Endorse Climate Safe California https://theclimatecenter.org/climate-safe-california/endorse/ 00:43:29 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): Indirect and Induced jobs, inother words. 00:44:17 Rob England - The Climate Center: GEPI https://thegepi.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GEPI-CA-Oil-Gas-Workers-Report.pdf 00:45:36 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Please feel free to type any questions you have for the panelists in the Q&A tab below. Thank you. 00:51:10 Ted Franklin: Chat is set so participants can't save the chat or copy links into notes we are taking. 00:51:39 Beverly DesChaux: I thought this was going to be about what it will look like after we have transitioned??? 00:52:53 Jane Allen: Thank you for this very important webinar. We are advocating for a just transition for all fossil fuel workers in Colorado - right now we only focus on the coal transition, but there is no support programs for oil and gas. I am curious, given what happened at the Marathon oil refinery, and so many other refineries in the US that have closed abruptly or laid off majority of their workers, is CA exploring policy or initiatives to require refineries to create transition plans for their workforce if they idle or close down? 00:53:15 Doron Amiran - The Climate Center: Thanks Beverly. We want to ground this conversation in the real world experiences of people and communities. 00:53:27 Rob England - The Climate Center: You should be able to click the links or highlight the link and copy using ctrl C 00:53:36 Jane Allen: By we* I mean the state of Colorado only focuses on coal not oil and gas. My non profit, The Alliance Center, is trying to address this gap. 00:54:09 Megan Shumway: Marathon sounds like typical story of Corporate Abuse. 00:57:35 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): Thank you for that excellent, albeit heavy presentation Tracy. 00:58:31 Mike Moore: Great presentation on equitable Just Transition 00:58:31 Greg Karras: Thank YOU Tracy 00:58:53 OG Strogatz: Thank you Tracy 00:58:54 Michelle Persoff, Office of Asm Bryan: thank you that was very helpful 00:59:33 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Dr Parks bio - https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/virginia-parks-phd/ 01:00:06 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Tracy Scott bio - https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/tracy-scott/ 01:00:06 Shoshana Wechsler: All power to you, Tracy! IS USW thinking about developing legislation that would put serious muscle and state resources behind a transition to high-road jobs? 01:00:14 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): My question is, can we organize a state-level transition program that includes nationalization of the refiners, so that their can be a managed transition that includes a real just transition for the affected employees and communities as well as reparations for the impacted communities? Does the Public Power bill passed in New York State recently offer a potential model? 01:00:36 Rob England - The Climate Center: Fossil fuel layoff: The economic and employment effects of a refinery closure on workers in the Bay Area https://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/fossil-fuel-layoff/ 01:03:00 Michael K: Probably no report like this since the 1980's at a time of massive job loss resulting from deindustrialization. 01:04:11 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Please feel free to type any questions you have for the panelists in the Q&A tab below. Thank you. 01:04:16 Michael K: Midwest and CA, including Bay Area 01:04:39 John A Duvall: Why can’t we save the chat?? 01:05:12 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): This report from Scotland may also offer a potential path forward: https://foe.scot/campaign/just-transition/our-power-worker-demands-for-an-energy-transition/ 01:07:13 John A Duvall: Will the recording be shared with participants? 01:07:58 Doron Amiran - The Climate Center: The recording and slide shows will be shared with everyone who registered for the webinar, and you will be able to share that recording. 01:08:18 John A Duvall: Thanks!! 01:11:20 Tomas Phillips: In my view, issues around Union jobs being lost due to refinery closures are off the mark, when considering climate change. 01:11:50 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): Thank you for that great presentation. :-) 01:13:07 Brian Unitt: Those two presentations worked well together. 01:13:17 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Robert's Bio - https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/robert-zardeneta/ 01:13:34 Mike Moore: Thank you Professor Parks for a great presentation 01:13:49 Rob England - The Climate Center: CSO Current Initiatives https://cso.lacounty.gov/the-plan/cso-current-initiatives/ 01:19:11 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Please feel free to put in any questions for the panelists at the Q&A tab below. Thanks. 01:19:47 Michael Eisenscher (he/him): The labor movement needs to get behind a comprehensive just transition legislation that includes income support and other safety net measures - funded by a tax on fossil fuel corporate profits. Just transition measures also should include impacted frontline communities and revenue support for impacted local governments, also funded by taxes on FF industry profits. 01:27:06 Rob England - The Climate Center: California Climate Jobs Plan https://www.californiaclimatejobsplan.com/about-dr-pollin 01:27:28 Robert Zardeneta: Robert Zardeneta, Just Transition Task Force, Senior Manager Green Workforce, City of LA Mayor’s Office of Energy and Sustainability, robert.zardeneta@lacity.org 01:27:51 Elisabeth Green: TEGL 12-9 says CANCELLED. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/advisories/training-and-employment-guidance-letter-no-09-12 Is there another one? 01:27:54 Michael K: ripple effect of job loss 01:28:58 Robert Zardeneta: TEGL 12-19 not 09-12 01:30:17 Elisabeth Green: Thanks. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/advisories/training-and-employment-guidance-letter-no-12-19 01:34:33 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): Thank you Norman! 01:35:08 Elisabeth Green: Have you gotten justice through suing Marathon for damages caused by fraud? Which, if any, of those claims did you settle through negotiation? 01:35:10 Michael Eisenscher (he/him): Thank you for these excellent thoughtful presentations. I look forward to sharing the recording with many others. 01:35:58 Michael K: in LA, what % of the work is drilling and what % is refining? 01:36:46 Mike Moore: Norm, thanks for the heads up on Protera leaving California to South Carolina for lower, non-union wages. So sad. 01:39:16 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): It should include "Neutrality agreements" so that workers can choose to organize a union without their employers' interference. 01:40:38 Brian Unitt: I was wondering where that piece was? :) 01:41:03 Vivian Price: What do you think of the Pollin report for transitioning California? 01:42:42 Vivian Price: Agreed, Dr Parks! We need organizing to raise federal labor standards. 01:43:10 Michael Eisenscher (he/him): The cost of this transition should be born by the corporations that have profited so much from decades of exploitation of labor and natural resources!!!!! 01:44:05 Greg Karras: ++ME 01:44:33 Vivian Price: Transitions should include the clause that polluters pay. 01:44:58 Mike Moore: Second to raising Federal Labor Standards 01:45:43 Michael K: what is the $40M for? 01:47:37 Michael K: why is the $40M moving so slowly? the 2022-23 fiscal year is almost over. 01:47:47 Vivian Price: Fund for displaced oil workers —40$ m 01:48:18 Michael Eisenscher (he/him): On the union side, we need a far larger commitment of resources and attention to organizing the unorganized in all the emerging technology industries, and well as more generally. Private sector union density of just 6% today is about where it was in the first decade of the 20th Century!!! 01:48:51 Jerilyn Lopez Mendoza (she/her) - The Climate Center: Norman Rogers bio - https://theclimatecenter.org/about/people/norman-rogers/ 01:49:25 Tracy Scott: The $40MM is intended to benefit Displaced Oil and Gas Workers, The State has been working to define the RFP as it is different from other initiatives from past budget items in CA 01:49:32 Elisabeth Green: When the president declares a climate emergency, then will everyone who loses a home and livelihood get shelter from the Red Cross and food from the Salvation Army, as in any other emergency? Or, is this emergency different because it was clearly caused by people? 01:50:36 Ted Franklin: Will it take public takeover of the fossil fuel industry to actually manage the phaseout in a way that is good for workers & communities? 01:50:55 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): If any of y'all want to reach out to the ILWU locals in northern California (at least), I can help with that. Contact me at greensyndicalist@gmail.com 01:51:20 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): ILWU will be involved in offshore wind. 01:51:43 Michael K: nurses 01:52:31 Barbara Sattler: The other tax-based jobs will be in public health, mental health, addiction services, etc. As a unionized nurse, I am wondering how we can be supportive of the best policies to support all the workers who are going to be transitioned because of our climate needs? 01:52:46 Robert Zardeneta: Steamfitters UA Local 250 also participated on the task force 01:55:28 Elisabeth Green: In 2010, the Green Party of the United States developed the Green New Deal https://www.gp.org/gnd It provided 25 million green jobs by implementing a nationally funded, but locally controlled direct employment initiative offering public sector jobs which are “stored” in job banks in order to take up any slack in private sector employment, including 16 million jobs in sustainable energy and energy efficiency retrofitting, mass transit and “complete streets” that promote safe bike and pedestrian traffic, regional food systems based on sustainable organic agriculture, and clean manufacturing. https://gpus.org/organizing-tools/the-green-new-deal 01:55:29 Jeff Perrone (he/him): Just finished the book, Democracy In Chains: The Deep History Of The Radical Righ’s Stealth Plan For America, by Nancy MacLean. It’s a detailed look at the long-term plans and efforts to suppress unions, voting, democracy, and many other things we hold dear. Highly recommended! 01:57:08 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): Peat = moss 01:58:18 Beverly DesChaux: can we hear from Norm please? 02:00:37 Elisabeth Green: Do you get regular social security after expending your U.S. taxpayer-backed oil & gas pensions? https://www.aon.com/getmedia/da46390f-9dbf-430c-95f7-2e7e83b80b2c/Aon_2018_OG_Drilling_and_Services_Manufacturing_Report_Final.aspx&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi45emB5qn8AhXRkWoFHRP6CkMQFnoECAcQAg&usg=AOvVaw1EpxaY6OhDrly2Ejq1TKa1 02:01:00 Steve Ongerth (he/him; IWW, IBU, RWU, Sunflower, DSA): Thank you all! 02:01:04 Rob England - The Climate Center: Call to Action: https://theclimatecenter.org/just-transition/tell-your-state-reps-dont-turn-your-back-on-displaced-oil-and-gas-workers/ 02:02:27 Beverly DesChaux: link is not working for me 02:02:43 Rob England - The Climate Center: https://theclimatecenter.org/just-transition/tell-your-state-reps-dont-turn-your-back-on-displaced-oil-and-gas-workers/ 02:02:54 Michael Eisenscher (he/him): When will the recording be available? 02:02:58 Megan Shumway: Link worked for me. 02:03:16 Farah Stack: This was an incredible webinar, thank you to The Climate Center and the wonderful speakers today.
