"This article begins with examples of successful union policies and actions in the workplace, paying particular attention to Comisiones Obreras (Spain), TUC (United Kingdom) and NUMSA (South Africa). It argues that some of the ways in which the concept of just transition has been translated into international trade union policies fail to recognize the inseparable relationship between labour and nature. Showing that natural resources do not allow a green growth, it suggests five steps for an alternative path to a just transition."
