Working In These Times is dedicated to providing independent and incisive coverage of the labor movement and struggles for workers’ rights.

A job guarantee will be required for us to start addressing climate change because corporations are not going to do it themselves. There is not enough profit for them to address it, and in fact, addressing it cuts INTO their profits and CEOs need to show increasing quarterly profits in order to hold on to their jobs.

We need to address this like we would if a meteor was headed towards the earth and would destroy all life on the planet if it hit us.
