PSAC in the fight for climate action and a just transition | Public Service Alliance of Canada

“Climate change (and environmental concerns as a whole) encompasses economic and public health issues that directly affect members’ working conditions (financial and occupational health and safety issues) and communities’ living conditions (public health and policy decisions).

In addition to proactively protecting jobs through a just transition, unions can:

• help to train workers;
• include environmental clauses in collective agreements;
• participate in business networking (Circular Economy);
• seek opportunities for innovation;
• shift the burden of action towards organizations and governments and away from individuals.

Ultimately, of course, workers are the experts on their workplaces.”
