No More Hot Air – Workers Will Win a Just Transition


Monday 15th April 12.30-1.45 Committee Room 3

Join this fringe to hear about climate change, the importance of workers collective action, and learn tools you can take into workplaces

Supported by the IER, Centre for Climate Crime and Climate Justice, Protect, Unison Scotland, Friends of the Earth Scotland and STUC.
