CWU/LRD Issue Environment and Climate Change Guidance For Union Reps

The CWU and LRD have produced this booklet to support the strong desire within our Union to change our workplaces to make them more sustainable and environmentally friendly.  

There is overwhelming support from Union members and Representatives for more to be done to combat global warming and to promote good environmental practices at work through robust environmental policies.

Motion 103 on 'Global Warming' was carried at this year's CWU Annual Conference and in summary Conference agreed that global warming is relevant to workers, that the CWU should pressure employers to have robust environmental policies and to reduce carbon emissions, to lead by example and aim to become carbon neutral as well as provide information to members and branches.

Employers need to do more to improve their environmental performance and have in place strategies to reduce carbon emissions. Environmental initiatives can bring benefits to employers and its employees. Our aim is to promote good environmental practices at work that will benefit workers, employers and the wider community.
