What You Can Do
Be An Energy Innovator
Learn
Understand Labor Standards in Clean Energy – Study how Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), prevailing wage laws, and apprenticeship requirements improve project quality and workforce equity.
Get Familiar with Industry Needs – Meet with both renewable energy developers and local union leaders to understand training pipelines, certification needs, and workforce capacity.
Get the Facts on Community Benefits – See how good-paying jobs, high quality union labor, and clean energy sources benefit communities and help revitalize cities and towns.
Share
Build Public Understanding – Host town halls or public forums that bring together labor, developers, and community members to discuss renewable energy benefits and labor protections.
Explain the Economic Rationale – Use public platforms to explain how union labor ensures quality, local hiring, and long-term community benefit—not just cheaper, short-term builds.
Engage
Solicit Renewable Projects – After learning what’s viable in your region or state, research successful renewable project developers and start conversations to see how these projects could benefit communities you represent.
Leverage Funding Power – Prioritize public funds (e.g., IRA funds, infrastructure grants) for renewable projects that commit to union labor and long-term local employment.
Push for Labor Provisions in Permitting – Work with planning boards and permitting agencies to incorporate workforce standards in project approvals.
Collaborate with Labor and Industry – Form advisory councils with union leaders, clean energy developers, and workforce agencies to shape equitable energy transition policies.
