But as we confront the climate crisis and seek environmental justice, a \"jobs vs. environment\" discourse often pits workers against climate activists. How can we make a \"just transition\" moving away from fossil fuels, while also compensating for the human cost when jobs are lost or displaced? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his timely book, \u003ci\u003eClean Air and Good Jobs, \u003c\/i\u003eTodd Vachon examines the labor-climate movement and demonstrates what can be envisioned and accomplished when climate justice is on labor's agenda and unions work together with other social movements to formulate bold solutions to the climate crisis.
