Chapter 3
Green/environment reps
[ch 3: page 17]Trade union representatives have a critical role to play in influencing employers towards “greening” the workplace and campaigning for a safer, healthier working and living environment.
The TUC and individual unions provide regular training courses for green/environment union reps. The TUC says reps are achieving energy savings and huge cost benefits for their employers. Small steps, such as recycling paper or turning off lights, can make an enormous difference. Information on available courses can be found on the TUC and union websites.
