Press Release: Unions call for accountability in HyVelocity negotiations with Department of Energy
By Veronica Serrano - Texas Climate Jobs, January 24, 2024
Austin, Texas – Today the Texas AFL-CIO, a state federation of labor unions representing more than 240,000 members in Texas, passed a resolution on the HyVelocity Hub at the 2024 COPE Convention. The resolution urges HyVelocity “to immediately resolve its differences with Texas labor organizations by committing to binding community workforce agreements and labor peace agreements to ensure a just transition for unionized fossil fuel workers impacted by the transition to clean hydrogen” and “urges the Department of Energy, and all Texas policymakers to hold HyVelocity accountable to union concerns.”
