A Just Transition?

Are Keynesian solutions enough to deal with the current employment crisis or is more called for?
At a time when the future of employment and the meaning of work are being called into question in the most significant way for at least twenty years, the meeting below promises to prove very interesting and will debate some of the possible routes ahead. A must for both trade unionists and those who question the future of meaningful work.
GREEN PARTY TRADE UNION GROUP & London Federation of Green Parties
PUBLIC MEETING: ALL WELCOME
'WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND THE GREENING OF WORK - THE ROLE OF TRADE UNIONS'.
The world plunges headlong into Recession, but could this provide the opportunity for a ‘NEW GREEN DEAL’ or a ‘JUST TRANSITION’ from our current economic arrangements which cause economic & ecological disaster.? What will this new economy be like? How can workers’ rights be defended as it is built?
