No green transition possible without public ownership, trade unions insist
Trade uion ballons oat Cop26

A TRANSITION to a greener economy cannot happen without public ownership of energy and greater worker control in the industry, trade unionists have said. 

Representatives from unions and campaigners told a fringe meeting at Glasgow’s Cop26 climate summit yesterday that until energy production is under control, the climate will not be brought under control. 

The event was organised by Democratic Left Scotland (DLS), bringing together figures from the Scottish left and trade union movement.
