Union Renewal and Workplace Greening — Three Case Studies
本文通过三个大型工作场所的案例，评估了工会推动绿色化议程对工会复兴的作用，发现该议程虽易启动、有环境效益，但难以持续，对吸引新会员作用有限，却能吸引新活动分子。
Abstract This article evaluates the renewal potential of three unions’ workplace greening agendas in three large workplaces. The cases suggest the agenda is easy to initiate with members and employers and has tangible environmental benefits but is labour intensive and difficult to sustain beyond focusing events. There is limited evidence that the agenda attracts new members but stronger evidence that it attracts new activists. Although facilitative of partnership, unions are mainly cast as environmental watchdogs and trouble‐shooters. The findings suggest that even timely, popular, developmental agendas, conducive to partnership, can have only a moderate effect on union renewal and must be consciously configured to do so properly.
