Workshop: B041 Labour union movement and ecology - diverse and complementary approaches?
Through an exchange of experiences and practices, the workshop will allow participants to approach the different possibilities that unions have to learn about environmental challenges, as well as integrate and work on them.
Through an exchange of experiences and practices, the workshop will allow participants to approach the different possibilities that unions have to learn about environmental challenges, as well as integrate and work on them.We will address the following: new professional practices (approaches according to occupational groups), the transformation of internal organisation (cross-sector links, organisational bodies), union training and the defense of new rights and the policy of alliances of trade unions. We will evaluate the successes of these initiatives as well as the obstacles they have encountered.
We will build on this input by opening the discussion on the central role of workers in the reorganisation of production methods as well as on their role in the ecological transition in broader terms. Here we can also discuss the outcomes of the 1st International Trade Union Forum on Ecological and Social Transitions, held in June 2021 could be of interest (a second forum is planned for September 2022 in South Korea).
