SUMMARY:Climate and Labour Teach In
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis has been brought on largely by an economy built on exploitation of the earth’s resources but also exploitation of worker’s labour. In a word where we rely heavily on fossil fuels to sustain our ever growing need for energy, workers are at the frontlines of the fight for climate justice. As the catastrophe looms ever closer, transition to new energy infrastructure will make some industries obsolete but will also offer new opportunities.\nThe COVID-19 health crisis brings to light the social inequities that exist and exposes the effect of years of cuts to public services. Workers who are deemed essential are being paid the minimum wage, with no sick days or personal protective equipment and little financial support. As the climate crisis worsens and disasters including pandemics become more frequent, working people must be supported and resilience must be built into new normal we create.\nExamples of collective power built through unions and workers struggles are present throughout history and give us some understanding of how we will ensure that a transition to a green economy is not only good for the health of our planet but for workers.\nJoin us on May 21st form 1pm-2pm EST to learn about how labour is essential to climate justice and discuss how we can build collective power. Hope to see you there!\n
