The Labour in Canada series looks at how significant political and economic changes affect the labor force and movement as a whole. This third volume in the series delves into the so far sparsely covered relations between climate change and work in Canada. The first article, for instance, looks at how the bulk of current analysis exists in non-academic gray literature. This is followed by an examination of international patterns, looking at practices in the U.S., Australia, and the European Union. In the case of Canada, particular attention is paid to the possible role of unions working within a decentralized collective bargaining system. The third chapter looks at the possible effects of international agreements, with a focus on Ontario's Green Energy Act. The final six chapters look at how labor in Canada might be affected by climate change and possible government policies in six different sectors: the construction industry, the energy sector, the transportation equipment industry, the forestry industry, the tourism industry, and the Canadian postal and courier sector.
