What do Labor Unions and Environmental Organizations have in common?
For decades, environmental groups and labor unions have found common cause in efforts to promote citizen action, hold corporations accountable, and fight for safe workplaces and healthy communities. Today, environmentalists and unions are forming alliances at the local, state and national levels to work together on a broad range of issues such as promoting clean energy solutions and holding corporations accountable.
