“We need a network for the renewable sector that works in close cooperation with the energy and electronics sectors. Kemal Özkan, IndustriALL assistant general secretary, addressed the meeting by video conference, and said: The population is growing, and Industry 4.0 is changing jobs. Gothenburg is the industrial backbone of Sweden, and we are seeing big investment in the region. “We’re not afraid of new technology – we’re afraid of old technology.

This meeting is a laboratory, where we organize learning experiences from each and discover which direction our unions need to move in.” We’re bringing together experts from the mechanical engineering sector who work in renewables to discuss the jobs of the future. Matthias Hartwich, IndustriALL director for mechanical engineering, said: The meeting discussed opportunities to use global framework agreements and trade union networks with energy and equipment manufacturing companies. We are very happy with the Silesia Declaration, which is a commitment to address the social dimensions of climate change through a Just Transition.”Įquipment manufacturing is an essential part of the renewable energy supply chain, which is why IndustriALL affiliates in mechanical engineering are keen to organize employees in this growing sector. And we need strong unions to ensure that energy transition is just.”Īngelika Thomas of German affiliate IG Metall said: We need wind, we need solar, we need biomass. “As mechanical engineers and trade unionists, technology is the most important contribution we can make to mitigating climate change. Opening the meeting, Rainer Wimmer, president of Austrian affiliate Pro-Ge and sector co-chair said: Development of the renewables industry is uneven across the world, but there is a clear direction of travel, and a lot to learn from countries where development is advanced.
