{"product_id":"9781773636726","title":"Unjust Transition","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"River Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Fernwood Publishing |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-03-21","offer_id":44652783763711,"sku":"9781773636726","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_31c4060f-85a1-4d31-bab8-d9175d8f02af.jpg?v=1704454991","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781773636726","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
