TRADE UNION leaders representing 2.3 million workers have written to the leaders of the Cop26 nations urging them to listen to their voices on climate issues “before, during and after” the conference.
Officials from 14 leading unions, including Unite, the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), the National Education Union (NEU), the Communication Workers Union (CWU) and the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) complained that workers will be largely excluded from the negotiations in the coming weeks.
The union leaders said that, “too often, workers’ voices have been ignored when it comes to decision-making about the climate and plotting a route out of the catastrophe we now face.”
