Transcript of SA Unions Climate Change Conference
AEU Presentation
Strong personal concern from some of our members for some time
BUT organisationally we have been very slow to respond
Our response has been bothinternal and external
“A good organiser must be able to charge anissue with a supreme sense of urgency.”
Start with education to organise people and give hope that things can be different if we work together
Our members have much to offer and show us
“We educate people in order to organise them. We don’t organise people in order to educate them.”
Connecting workers WITH the climate emergency movement
Community climate emergency activists are well organised and educated
Community alliances are extremely powerful
Relationships should be forged oncommon interests and urgent issues
