On the occasion of the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen, the Global Unions issued a joint publication, “Green Growth for jobs and social justice“. In announcing the publication, the Chair of the Council of Global Unions, Anita Normark, General Secretary of Building and Work Workers International (BWI), stressed that “to be successful, the fight to reverse climate change must be fought in communities and in workplaces. Clear commitments from governments are essential if we are to reach the linked goals of sustainable economies, green growth, and social justice”. The publication combines the trade union consensus positions developed under the leadership of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) with sectoral perspectives of the Global Union Federations. http://www.global-unions.org/spip.php?article306&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email
