For workers, despite Trump\u2019s promises of relief, any new jobs will ultimately cost more in lives than it brings in income.

In addition to saving lives in the immediate term, this would serve the purpose of both equalizing labor standards across countries and advancing the shift towards sustainable energy; for the transformation to be comprehensive, it must be equitable and fair to the impacted labor force.\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EIndustriALL also sees labor power as integral to sound energy policy.
