L’AUSTRALIA NON SOSTERRÀ PIÙ I COMBUSTIBILI FOSSILI

Durante i negoziati sul clima COP28, l’Australia ha annunciato l’adesione al Patto di Glasgow e la contestuale decisione di non finanziare più progetti internazionali su petrolio, gas e carbone.

L’accordo tra governi e agenzie finanziarie pubbliche, come le banche di sviluppo e le agenzie di credito all’esportazione, è stato uno dei traguardi raggiunti dalla COP26 del 2021 per porre fine a tutti i nuovi finanziamenti pubblici per progetti continuativi legati ai combustibili fossili ed è il più grande patto mondiale sul sostengo pubblico internazionale alla transizione energetica pulita. Con questa adesione, l’Australia cessa i finanziamenti per progetti di combustibili fossili che producono emissioni e renderà più semplice finanziare progetti di energia rinnovabile che riducono l’impatto sul clima. Alcuni tra i principali Paesi industrializzati al mondo e tra i primi inquinatori, come Stati Uniti, Gran Bretagna, Germania, Francia, Italia (in totale 34 nazioni e cinque banche pubbliche internazionali), hanno assunto questo impegno dal 2021.

Nell’ambito del piano net zero 2050 dell’Agenzia internazionale per l’energia, non ci sono oggi nuovi progetti su petrolio, gas naturale o carbone oltre a quelli già approvati prima del 2021. Il Patto di Glasgow per limitare l’aumento della temperatura media globale, rende effettivo il coinvolgimento delle istituzioni finanziarie, in modo da permettere il finanziamento delle ingenti cifre necessarie per costruire infrastrutture a basse emissioni di carbonio e resilienti al clima, soprattutto nei Paesi a basso e medio reddito che più ne hanno bisogno. Togliere finanziamenti ai combustibili fossili permetterà che i fondi possano essere reimpiegati nell’energia pulita.

Enel Is Set To Outperform In 2023 (OTCMKTS:ENLAY)

Cindy Shebley/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Two weeks ago, we analyzed Enel’s (OTCPK:ENLAY) new strategic plan and we published a follow-up note called 8.2% Dividend Yield In 2023. It is key to report our last conclusive paragraph: Enel is exiting the riskiest countries, reducing its debt, maintaining and increasing its dividend, and investing in renewable energy projects and also in more…

Unions are finally fighting two-tier contracts

Now that Striketober has given way to Strikesgiving, let’s pause for a moment and be grateful that labor made 2021 the year that unions wised up to the self-immolating scam that is the two-tier contract.

As Alexandra Bradbury writes for Labor Notes, this year’s most prominent labor actions fought against two-tier contracts, from the Teamsters to John Deere to Kaiser to Kellogg’s to UPS.

https://labornotes.org/blogs/2021/11/year-im-thankful-revolt-against-two-tier

What’s a two-tier contract? Just what it sounds like: management offers the union concessions on its key demands, but only for current workers. Future workers get a worse deal.

Management’s theory is that workers may have solidarity with one another, but not with workers who haven’t even been hired yet, and that a two-tier contract will lead to an ever-expanding cohort of workers who pay full union dues but don’t get full union benefits. Thus, over the span of years, the union will get weaker and weaker, and eventually it will be too weak to stand up for any of its workers — even the top-tier workers, who will see all those gains clawed back in future negotiations.

The leaders who backed two-tier are retiring or being forced out, as with this month’s historic leadership vote in the Teamsters, which saw a decisive win for reformers who made killing two-tier the centerpiece of their campaign:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/19/hoffa-jr-defeated/#teamsters-for-a-democratic-union

As Bradbury writes, two-tier and even three-tier systems are in place at the Big Three automakers, the USPS, and universities, where they are responsible for the mass immiseration of adjuncts.

Giving in to two-tier made unions weak, poisoning the rank and file and making strikes all but impossible. But as Eugene Braswell, a Teamsters United activist, notes, fighting against two-tier is a way to bring young workers into union activism, ready to go to the wall for workers’ rights.

“I thought it would be hard to get young workers] involved [in the Teamsters United campaign]. But I found when we were talking about the contract and trying to vote these people out, a lot of them said, ‘My ballot is already in.’”

While we’re being thankful for the union movement’s Great Awakening, here’s some other things Americans can be thankful for, courtesy of The Intercept’s Jon Schwarz:

https://theintercept.com/2021/11/25/thanksgiving-america-gratitude/

We are treated better than the animals that Americans will consume by the millions this year

Libraries are still a thing

Antibiotics still work

We’re still having and talking about sex, despite generations of American puritanism

Your face is covered in minuscule translucent mites that you inherit from the people you have close contact with, meaning your face is covered in your grandparents’ symbiotes

Dean Baker is still tearing it up with lucid explanations of economic injustice:

https://join.substack.com/p/economics-on-trial

Solar power keeps on growing and it’s cheaper than ever

“Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren,” Keynes’s stirring 1930 article describing a future of short work weeks and material abundance

We only have to eat cranberries (“dreadful bog fruit”) once per year

And while I'm on the subject of Strikesgiving, here's your reminder that the Wirecutter Union is striking this weekend and asking us not to cross their (virtual) picket-line. Don't click through on any links at the Wirecutter, because their parent company, the New York Times, are refusing to give Wirecutter workers a dignified wage, denigrating their labor as "not New York Times writing."

Fuck that bullshit. Pay the writers, New York Times.
