ABOUT THIS EPISODE
It matters to us as workers to have a liveable planet! And the labor movement has unique leverage and responsibility to push for climate action in the workplace and in contracts.
The upcoming April issue of Labor Notes spotlights how workers are fighting for better conditions as they contend with storms, heat waves, and wildfires while on the job, and how they are staking their place in the transition away from fossil fuels.
Labor Notes Organizers Kari Thompson and Keith Brower Brown join pod co-hosts Danielle Smith and Natascha Elena Uhlmann.
