The Swiss Trade Union Federation (USS) and Travail.Suisse support the Energy Strategy 2050, which will be put to the vote on 21 May. The two trade union organisations believe that the transition initiated by the energy plan will make possible, on the one hand, a domestic, clean and sustainable energy supply and, on the other, the creation of tens of thousands of jobs, particularly in the renewable energy sector. The reduction in the consumption and import of fossil fuels will also serve to redirect government spending in terms of energy investment. As a reminder, the Energy Strategy 2050 is a national transition plan aimed at promoting energy self-sufficiency through the development of green energies.
