If Joel Fitzgibbon really cares about the people who work directly in the coal industry, he would be pushing for the federal government to begin planning so that coal workers do not find themselves out of work in the years ahead (Letters, February 19). Germany has completely closed its coal operations in the Ruhr Valley which once employed 30,000 workers: with not one job lost. It took vision, planning, crack execution and political courage. Yes, we do export lots of coal, but international markets are shrinking as the world transitions to renewables, a trend that is speeding up and will result in job losses in the Australian coal industry. A global trend. Out of our control. An inevitability. So whose interest is Joel Fitzgibbon really protecting? Not the coal workers I suspect. -
