Bargaining guidance for green reps and other negotiators

As a result of motions to transport union TSSA’s annual conference, the union has produced guidance aimed at union organisers and staff reps on negotiating a sustainable framework agreement for non core-pay items. This includes:

• a wider brief for union representatives to include sustainable development in negotiations;

• giving reps the right to pursue environmentally friendly measures, such as energy saving, waste strategies and travel plans (see pages 63-64); and

• union involvement in environmental monitoring and management systems.

The union is also restarting its environmental bulletins for reps.
