Green Left - Press Release – 24th July 2019.
Green Left welcomes the news of workers unions joining the youth strikers in fighting Climate Change on the 20th September 2019.
Green Left is an influential Eco-Socialist group within the Green Party (GPEW) being formed in 2006.
Green Left says 'The struggle against Climate Change is taking mighty steps forward in the UK with three Trade Unions, University and College Union (UCU), Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) and National Education Union (NEU).'
The Unions are both declaring support for the Youth Climate Change protests and strikes and are now taking a motion to the 5.6 million strong Trade Union Congress (TUC) asking for solidarity action on the day of the next Global Strike on the 20th September 2019.
Green Left says 'Ordinary people, including workers are the ones who will be most impacted by Climate Change and we need to take action to defend ourselves.'
The motion is a call for workers to show support in a work stoppage for 30 minutes on the day as well as other actions.
