The causes of Climate Change are a trade union workplace issue.
Barnet UNISON branch thinks it’s important to bridge the gap between the call for #ClimateChangeStrike #20Sept and how the causes of #ClimateChange are directly impacting on the health and wellbeing of our members.
Trade Unions have a long history of taking up health and safety issues on behalf of their members.
It’s important that the campaign to deal with #ClimateChange doesn’t treat it as an abstract issue that affects someone else.
The causes of #ClimateChange are real and are already having an effect in workplaces all over the world.
Our branch has already begun discussions with Barnet Council about air pollution and we are due to meet later this month.
In the meantime we are beginning conversations with our members via leaflets, online videos which we are posting on our social media sites and in our weekly eNews communication.
Here are two very simple but effective videos made by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
