UNISON Bolton Trade Union Branch

Just as unions and employers work together to improve health and safety in the workplace through safety committees, UNISON GREEN are elected to champion environmental issues. They can raise awareness and ensure that green issues are included in the negotiating or bargaining agenda at work. The main concern of a union GREEN Rep is to agree a joint approach to ‘greening the workplace’. Organisations are far better placed than individuals to install cost effective green measures and agree collective ways to change our behaviour at work – such as through recycling schemes.
