About the Greener Workplaces Network

This event is being held as part of the Wales TUC’s Greener Workplaces Network . This is a new network that has been set up to support trade union reps who want to promote greener workplaces and sustainability. Join us for this friendly and supportive network which is open to all reps and activists, including green reps, health and safety reps, union reps, union learning reps and any other reps with an interest in the topic.

If you care about the future-proofing your work for a greener and fairer future, you should not miss this network.

The group will meet online approximately every other month. Each meeting will feature guest speakers to explore different topics, provide an opportunity for reps to network and share good practice and include an update from the Wales TUC.

Please join us for this event and if you have any ideas for topics or speakers for future meetings, please email swaihongho@tuc.org.uk Stanley Ho from the Wales TUC with your suggestions.
