Routledge Workers and Trade Unions for Climate Solidarity Book

Explore the complex relationship between organized labor and environmental policy with Workers and Trade Unions for Climate Solidarity. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Climate, Work and Society series, this book provides a theoretically rich and empirically grounded account of how UK trade unions have engaged with climate change over the last thirty years. This work offers a rigorous critique of mainstream neoliberal and ecological modernization approaches. By extending Marxist social and employment relations theory to the climate realm, the text applies deep insights from employment relations to the political economy of climate change. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the specific drivers of trade union behavior regarding environmental issues. Through a strong interdisciplinary approach, the book brings together lessons from both physical and social sciences. It is designed for researchers, students, and professionals interested in the intersection of labor rights, political economy, and environmental crisis in a neoliberal world.
