Canadian Labour and the Environment
Addressing the Value-Action Gap
From: Rethinking the Politics of Labour in Canada
$1.90
Many of the most valuable things that labour can contribute to the quest for environmental sustainability go beyond its own environmental activities per se, spilling over into the broader political effort to regulate and challenge the authority of capital; enhance the sphere of decommodified public goods; transform the meaning, purpose and duration of paid work; and fight for social and economic rights and protections that render workers less fearful and vulnerable in the face of environmental reform by mitigating their dependency upon the market for survival.
