The South West TUC Green Workplaces project has now finished, thank you to everyone who has taken part in it and attended events or training. 

Please see details of the national Green Workplaces network below…and the Trade Unions and the Environment course for Union Reps is still available around the South West - click here to go to the South West TUC Education website for dates, details and application information.

JOIN THE GREENWORKPLACES NETWORK NOW!

The TUC has launched a new network for union green activists.  Membership is free and allows you access to:

Practical resources for green activists – training resources for environmental courses and workplace activities, checklists to help you conduct environmental audits of your workplace; a model joint environmental agreement, factsheets, advice and tips on how to green your workplace and also tips on how to go green at home and save money.

The TUC GreenWorkplaces Project will be building up a library of new resources over the coming months based on the feedback we get from you.

Events – keep up to date with union and community based environmental events and training courses in your area.  If you are organising an event, let us know.

Case studies – read the stories from union members and reps who’ve been taking action in their workplace.

Tell us you story! – send in your own story!  We need to build a catalogue of successful case studies to argue the case for statutory time off for green reps to perform your union role and get access to the training you need.

News – Be first to get news and updates.

Help us to help you! By joining the network, you can help us build a much clearer picture of exactly where our green reps work and the challenges you take on.  You can help us to identify the best places to put on training courses, exchange ideas and share best practice and let us know which resources you need the most.  Only with hard facts at our fingertips can we lobby for more workplace rights.
