Because we need that power right now, perhaps more than ever, here are seven awesome examples of people power from the workers movement.
Workers and their unions have played a critical part in shaping the world we know today. Often demonstrating incredible perseverance, resilience and stubborn optimism. If you enjoy weekends off or sick pay or parental leave – then you have benefited too!
As we cut greenhouse gas emissions, the decline of some oil and gas, aviation, petrol and diesel vehicles industries is inevitable: this will impact working people and their families. Many are already looking for a way out or to re-skill.
We need to move to a more sustainable economy in a way that’s fair to everyone. This is the essence of the termj ust transition. Done right, this transformation that’s needed to reduce emissions can also be a chance to tackle many of the other injustices in our societies.
We believe in the power of people to work together to change the world for the better.
