Trump’s illegal war on Iran has sent shockwaves through energy markets and economies around the world. While the situation remains highly volatile and uncertain, the impact on oil and gas prices is already placing pressure on economies—and that pressure is unlikely to end soon.

Whether it’s bricks, chemicals, cars, energy or other manufactured products, energy-intensive sectors are especially exposed to price spikes.

Workers across the UK are facing a familiar and urgent question: what does this mean for our jobs? We can’t allow Trump’s war to put UK manufacturing jobs at risk.

This timely webinar brings together trade unionists and energy experts to explore how this geopolitical conflict translates into real-world risks for jobs at home—and what we can do about it.

What we’ll cover:

• How conflict-driven oil and gas price spikes affect UK energy costs
• The knock-on impacts for manufacturing industries
• The real experiences of workers on the frontline, and an exploration of what trade unions can demand now to protect jobs and industries
• The role of industrial decarbonisation in building long-term resilience

Join us to understand the risks, hear directly from workers and experts, and discuss the demands needed to safeguard UK manufacturing jobs in an increasingly unstable world.
