Working Harmoniously on the Earth: CUPE's National Environment Policy - Updated 2021 version
-
Description
-
CUPE's National Executive Board has adopted an updated environmental policy in response to the deepening climate crisis. Building on our policy adopted by the Board in 2013, the new policy places even greater urgency on a bold response to the climate crisis. The policy calls for new ways of working and living based on public, renewable sources of energy, and an end to fossil fuels. It also highlights the need for strong Just Transition programs enshrined in federal legislation to support and uplift workers, and recognizes that climate change impacts racialized communities even more aggressively. We all have a role to play in fighting the climate crisis, and as Canada's largest union, we recognize we must take our part in that fight. We encourage all CUPE members to read the policy and consider what changes you can make in your local, your workplace, and in your community.

Trade Unions and Just Transition: The Search for a Transformative Politics
-
Description
-
For more than a decade, trade union responses to the unfolding climate and ecological crisis have mainly focused on the idea of "just transition." This idea has brought much-needed attention to the serious disruptions facing many workers, and the need to minimize those disruptions where possible, or provide alternatives where necessary. Unions have generally affirmed the findings of climate science and recognized the urgent need for dramatic transformation of our societies, but this affirmation has mostly found expression in echoing broader social calls for "more ambition" from governments. At the international level, and especially in Europe, union discourse and engagement around the need for a "just transition" has been shaped profoundly by the fate of social democracy, and the related ideas of "social partnership" and "social dialogue." However despite their origins in what could be seen as a true "social contract" between roughly equal partners, the erosion of political power for unions in recent decades has largely hollowed out these terms, leaving unions and workers increasingly dependent on appeals to governments and private companies to "do the right thing" for workers and the planet. This state of affairs calls for critical reflection. It is vital that unions ask not only whether existing approaches to the crisis are sufficiently ambitious, but whether they are even aimed correctly at the target.

The black snake in Sioux country showing the Dakota Access Pipeline reroute through Unceded Treaty lands and its consequences
-
Description
-
Map features two pipeline access routes, and identifies population affected by either route. Current pipeline reroute traverses Unceded land held by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota. The archaeological sites that were unlawfully destroyed, sacred sites located on Sioux land, and the watershed that supplies their drinking water, are noted. Initial pipeline route indicated on the map approaches the identified "Majority-White community" of Bismarck, North Dakota, and the route was altered upon their protest.
