What are Green-Collar Jobs? Jason Walsh, Kenneth Ingram, Omar Freilla

 
With all the buzz about green-collar jobs, there’s often very little discussion about what kind of jobs these are, what they pay, what levels of education and training they require, and exactly how they fight poverty and global warming at the same time. This workshop will provide both a national overview that seeks to answer these questions and a local perspective on what these jobs mean for workers in Tennessee. Moderator/Panelist: Jason Walsh – Green For All Kenneth Ingram - International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 474 Omar Freilla – Green Worker Cooperatives
