Hi, Have any unions been able to get language addressing the impacts of climate change on workers in their collective bargaining agreements? I'd be very grateful for contract language and/or referrals to unions who have been incorporating impacts of climate change into their negotiations. Thanks!

Amy, Here is a link to our examples of bargaining for the common good demands that include a few on climate. We are in the process of building out more on climate ( and housing) and would welcome any additional demands folks can share. No need to say to anyone on this list how critical this work on climate is! Thx.
