Corporations have succeeded in their decades-long efforts to capture governments and ensure that few policies are enacted, and few regulations implemented that threaten their profits. This is especially true of the giant fossil-fuel and agro-business corporations, as well as the finance companies that underwrite and profit from these industries. Hence, we have toothless climate agreements that will see species fry, but corporate profits and prerogatives remain untouched!<\/p>\n<p>We suggest that unions take all measures possible to educate and mobilise your membership about the threats of climate chaos. Some unions will take strike action, others are negotiating with employers for liberal leave policies to allow workers to join the demonstrations. Unions are organising training sessions for their members, and will meet with the students to share perspectives. However, it is likely that workers will have to \u2018down tools in order to bring the level of pressure needed to change the behaviour of the business community.<\/p>\n<p>The student strike on 20 September, part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/fridaysforfuture.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Fridays For Future<\/a> movement, is to pressure the heads of state at the UN General Assembly to take radical action to deal with the growing climate chaos. The UN Climate Summit on 23 September will attempt, yet again, to convince government leaders to act. <a href=\"https:\/\/publicservices.international\/campaigns\/our-last-chance-on-climate?lang=en&amp;id=9522\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">PSI supported<\/a> the first global call of the students, in March 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earth-strike.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Earth Strike<\/a> on the 27th is being called by a coalition of progressive organisations and activists to push back against corporate power, its short-sighted pursuit of profit at the expense of people and the planet, and the corporate capture of our governments.<\/p>\n<p>Unions need to engage actively and urgently in the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_50 thick_3 style_solid color_primary align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PSI offers its support to students and activists who are calling for two Fridays of global climate mobilisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2089,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"dossier-special":[],"class_list":["post-4049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
