英国最大公共部门工会Unison秘书长Andrea Egan批评政府政策存在失衡,指出公共部门雇员在政治焦点中常被视为“事后想法”,而保护北海油气行业就业却获得了巨大的政治关注 1。这一言论正值政府批准Jackdaw气田开发项目之后,该决定引发了气候活动人士及部分工党支持者的强烈不满 1。与此同时,关于Rosebank油田的最终审批决定预计将于年底前公布 1。
工会内部对于是否继续扩大北海化石燃料开采持不同立场,其中Unite和GMB工会支持发放更多石油天然气许可证,而Unison与全国教育联盟(National Education Union)则反对进一步钻探 1。上周,Unison宣布与英国最大的能源公司Octopus Energy达成新的认可协议 1。Octopus Energy称选择Unison是因为其“对能源转型的承诺” 1。
Andrea Egan, general secretary of the UK’s largest trade union Unison, has criticized the government for treating public sector workers as an "afterthought" compared to the "massive political focus" on North Sea oil jobs 1. Her comments follow the recent approval of the Jackdaw gasfield, a decision that drew anger from climate activists and some Labour supporters, with a final ruling on the Rosebank oilfield expected by year-end 1. While major unions remain divided—with Unite and GMB backing further licenses while Unison and the National Education Union oppose new drilling—Egan is calling for investment in clean energy and public services instead of fossil fuels 1.
In a move to strengthen union representation in the renewable energy sector, Unison announced last week a new recognition agreement with Octopus Energy, currently Britain’s largest energy company 1. Octopus stated that it selected Unison due to the union’s "commitment to the energy transition," aligning with broader efforts to prioritize high-quality jobs in emerging industries over traditional oil and gas employment 1.
