Описание:

Combating climate change will increasingly impact on production industries. Whether creating 'greener technologies or transforming economies to become sustainable, production will change. Even policies that focus on reducing or changing consumption aim to influence production. Research to date has largely ignored the effect of climate change policies on workers and trade union policies. This book brings scholars and practitioners across the globe together: sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, historians, economists, unionists, and environmentalists based in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Taiwan, Spain, Sweden, the U.K and the U.S.A. Together they will open up a new area of research: Environmental Labour Studies.

What effect will moving to green production have on workers? How can unions influence processes of re-skilling, avoiding redundancies? Can North-South union solidarity create a "level playing field" globally? How can unions reconcile the protection of jobs and the protection of the environment? These questions are addressed by analysing how unions and environmental movements are learning from each other through a range of different initiatives. The book explores the Red-Green alliances in the US, Australia, South Korea and Taiwan; the theoretical and practical implications of the unions "Just Transition" policy and the problems and perspectives of "Green Jobs" policies in the US. More generally it looks at how food workers rights can be used as a path to low carbon agriculture, the role workers identities and social security play in union climate change policies and the strategies employed by unions towards environmental degradation. In introducing the topic of Environmental Labour Studies, this book opens the climate change debate up to trade unionists, business managers and policy makers, whilst also being of interest to academics in the fields of environmental management, environmental politics and climate change policy.

Описание: Despite the expansion of consumer culture in the eighteenth century onwards, and developments in retailing, advertising and credit relationships in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, there were a significant number of working families in Britain who were not free to consume as they chose.

Описание: Ian Roxborough challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that control over Mexican unions has been more fragile and problematic than appears at first sight. Taking the car industry as a case study, he discusses the upsurge of industrial militancy in the 1970s and explores its possible implications for continued political stability.
