“We Must Reject The False Choice Between a Good Job and a Green Job” - UAW President Shawn Fain

The UAW Center for Manufacturing a Green Economy (UAW-CMGE) puts into practice a critical pillar of decarbonization - skilling and empowering the climate workforce of the future.

Investing in Workers is an Investment in the Climate Economy.

The UAW Center for Manufacturing a Green Economy (CMGE), is leading the recruitment and training for union careers in climate manufacturing and empowering a well-trained, mission-driven green workforce to meet the growing needs of domestic climate technology manufacturing created by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

We believe that an investment in the workers driving the energy transition is an investment in the American climate economy. CMGE is bringing a high-road training model to the green economy – empowering workers with knowledge of green technologies and manufacturing, ensuring that their voices are amplified, and building a just transition towards new, diverse, climate industries where workers and communities can thrive in a decarbonized economy.
