UNION WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENTAL REPS

MOTION PASSED AT GREEN PARTY CONFERENCE 6/9/2008

"Trade Unions and their branches will have the right to establish workplace environmental representatives, who will have the same rights at work as other trade union representatives. This will include appropriate facilities and time off to undertake their duties. Such representatives should play a decision making role in the development of strategies and implementation plans for making workplaces, companies and other public, private and third sector organisations greener and more
sustainable."
