In last year’s historic strike against the Big Three automakers, climate activists rallied to support union workers fighting for better pay and working conditions—including protections for workers during the transition to electric vehicles.
Leaders of the strike made it clear that their aim was not just to win their immediate demands but to build working class power for progressive change.
What can we learn from the strike about how to build worker power for a just transition to a green economy?
Find out in a discussion with two organizers who helped lead last year’s United Auto Workers (UAW) strike against the Big 3 auto companies. They’ll explain how the fight for worker justice is key to building a just, renewable and livable future for all.
Speakers:
* Tim Thomas, assistant director of the UAW National Political Community Action Program and
* Sydney Ghazarian, organizer at the Labor Network for Sustainability
Hosted by Climate Reality Check, comprised of Gaby Sarri-Tobar of the Center for Biological Diversity and Ted Glick with Beyond Extreme Energy and author of the book Burglar for Peace.
