This collection investigates the complex intersection of organized labor and environmental sustainability, specifically questioning how trade unions can effectively advocate for ecological reform without compromising worker livelihoods. The book, edited by Nora Räthzel and featuring contributions from various international scholars and labor activists, examines the historical tension between industrial production and environmental protection. It presents a framework for 'Environmental Labour Studies,' arguing that a socially just transition to a green economy requires the active participation of workers and their representative organizations to ensure that climate policies do not exacerbate economic inequality.
