A Labor Rights Statement of Support: (Resolution for Environmentalists)
-
Description
-
Labour unions are frequently asked to pass resolutions relating to climate and environmental policy. This sample resolution, recently approved by the board of the Labor Network for Sustainability, is offered so that other environmental and climate protection organizations will consider and pass it, and endorse labour union rights including freedom to organize and bargain collectively. Also includes such statements: "We pledge to work together for job creation in a climate-friendly economy; fight together for full employment in an economy that uses union labor. For example, American steel made by USW members must be used to make wind turbines erected by union building trades workers."
