Working for Climate Justice: trade unions in the front line against climate change

*	27th October 2023 – 9:30 am - 5:00 pm
*	Toynbee Hall, London, E1 6LS

A free conference on ‘green bargaining’ strategies that will bring together trade union organisers, academics and campaigners.

The Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) Centre for Climate Crime and Climate Justice is collaborating with the Institute of Employment Rights to organise a conference on ‘green bargaining’ strategies that will bring together trade union organisers, academics and campaigners.

The starting point for this conference is that the trade unions must develop a collective bargaining approach to climate change and environmental degradation; climate and environmental issues cannot be understood as an ‘add-on’ to traditional bargaining agendas, but rather must be understood as fundamental to these aims.

Registration will take place from 9:30am. The event will start at 10:00am.
