Greening Auto Jobs: A Critical Analysis of the Green Job Solution
details current and problematic understandings of what constitutes
a "green job." Adopting an approach grounded in critical political
economy, this book presents a framework to scrutinize the green job
solution and the theoretical framework which overwhelmingly informs
contemporary green job creation efforts and ecological
modernization. The text also explores the tensions that encircle
the world of work and environmental action, often referred to as
"jobs versus the environment," by detailing the conflicting
commitments of political-economic actors to the idea of green job
creation. These conflicts are outlined through an examination of
the political-economic debate that has surrounded the Australian
Government s environmental plans from 2008 to 2012 and the
conflicting positions of Australian trade unions on environmentally
transitioning the world of work. Interviews with key
political-economic actors provide in-depth and nuanced
understandings of the varied perspectives of political and union
leaders in Australia. The second part of the book presents a
detailed case study of the posited green job solution within the
specific context of the Australian automotive manufacturing
industry. The case study is also informed by interviews with key
industry, union, and policymakers. The automotive industry is
scrutinized not only because it has expressed going green as
important to its long-term economic future, but because the
Australian Government declared that its $6.2 billion "New Car Plan
for a Greener Future" policy would create green jobs. Therefore,
the book engages with the task of examining the three multinational
vehicle producers operating in Australia Ford, GM Holden, and
Toyota and how they have responded and engaged with the idea of
green jobs, greening the manufacturing process, and the vehicles
they produce in Australia."
