The labor-climate movement in the U.S. laid the groundwork for the
Green New Deal by building a base within labor for supporting
climate protection as a vehicle for good jobs. But as we confront
the climate crisis and seek environmental justice, a "jobs vs.
environment" discourse often pits workers against climate
activists. How can we make a "just transition" moving away from
fossil fuels, while also compensating for the human cost when jobs
are lost or displaced? In his timely book, Clean Air and Good Jobs,
Todd Vachon examines the labor-climate movement and demonstrates
what can be envisioned and accomplished when climate justice is on
labor's agenda and unions work together with other social movements
to formulate bold solutions to the climate crisis. Vachon profiles
the workers and union leaders who have been waging a slow, but
steadily growing revolution within their unions to make labor as a
whole an active and progressive champion for both workers and the
environment. Clean Air and Good Jobs examines the "movement within
the movement" offering useful solutions to the dual crises of
climate and inequality.
