United Workers Union Climate Action Group

On Friday October 15 join UWU Climate Action Group members for an online action in solidarity with the brave activists from School Strike for Climate.  

If you were one of the hundreds of members who attended our climate science workshop with Dr Lesley Hughes last month, you know that we need to drastically ramp up action to reduce emissions this year and every year for the next 10 years. 

This is a great chance to get to know like-minded UWU members and hear from some who are trying to make climate action happen at work, at home and in their communities. 

What: UWU Climate Action Group – Climate Strike Solidarity Action

When: October 15, 1:00pm – 2:30pm (AEDT)

Where: Online via Zoom 

We will share findings from the High Heat and Climate Change at Work report, a collaboration between United Workers Union and the University of Technology Sydney, which highlights the risks workers are already dealing with as a result of extreme heat and climate change impacts in the workplace. 

And we’ll talk about what union members can do to help protect each other at work as we go into summer; including our OHS Extreme Weather at Work training.

With global leaders due to meet and set targets for climate action at international negotiations (COP26) in the first few weeks of November, right now is a really important time to be talking about climate change and demanding stronger action from decision makers. 

Every tonne of emissions we can avoid will make a real difference and the decisions made by politicians at COP26 will shape our future.

Climate change is about to be front and centre and the time to set the agenda is now.  

So come along and be a part of shaping the Union movement’s agenda on climate!

Climate justice is union business! By becoming a member and taking action we can secure climate justice for all working people.

Our website is hosted on 100% carbon neutral servers in Naarm (Melbourne). The United Workers Union is committed to creating the secure & future-proof jobs workers and their communities need as our country continues to transition to a net zero economy.

UWU acknowledges that we meet and work on the unceded lands of First Nations peoples. We wish to pay respect to their Elders — past and present — and acknowledge the important role all First Nations peoples continue to play within Australia and in our union.
