As Britain becomes a clean energy superpower, Labour is determined that they will create new high-quality jobs, working with business and trade unions, as they manage the transition. They have promised to rebuild supply chains at home and as the first major economy to transition to a clean-energy system, they will export the technologies of the future.
In their manifesto, Labour’s National Wealth Fund will directly invest in ports, hydrogen and industrial clusters in every corner of the country.
They will also secure the future of Britain’s automotive and steel industries.
They will reward clean energy developers with a British Jobs Bonus, allocating up to £500m per year from 2026, to incentivise firms who offer good jobs, terms and conditions and build their manufacturing supply chains in our industrial heartlands, coastal areas, and energy communities.
As part of these proposals Aegis call on the TUC to secure a commitment from Labour to ensure that any company that receives such government funding or bonus’s (tax payers’ money) to incentivise companies to offer good jobs, that these companies must have a union recognition agreement that supports collective bargaining, with an independent trade union who is affiliated to the TUC.
