Sustainable travel for all -a Greener Workplaces Network event

Can greener travel be fair, affordable and accessible for all?

Join us at this event, where we’ll be looking at the issues surrounding the move to greener modes of travel, what these mean for workers and why it is an important issue for trade unions.

As part of the event, we’ll be launching our newly updated bargaining guide for reps on negotiating for sustainable travel at work. We’ll look at trade union campaigns and bargaining strategies including:

• How can we support and enable members who want to choose more sustainable modes of transport?
• What do fair workplace travel plans look like?
• Unite’s campaign to save our bus routes – why buses are a vital part of a just transition
• Introduction of electric car fleets in workplaces – what are the issues for workers?
• What is the role of regional and national transport policy?

Speakers:

• Chris Roberts – Sustainable travel campaigner and Wales TUC bargaining guide author
• Alan McCarthy – Regional Officer, Unite the Union
• Mark Holt – Green/H&S rep, Communication Workers Union (CWU)
• Nisreen Mansour – Policy Officer, Wales TUC

As well as hearing from guest speakers, the event will include opportunities for participants to network, join in discussion and share good practice.
