Industrial meat production, labour process and ecological systems
Addressing the climate crisis and its impact on jobs has been the focus of much trade union action for a just transition but there has been less emphasis on the role that labour can play in addressing environmental crises. The meat production industry is an example of a global industry that impacts on global warming, human and animal health and the wider environmental crisis. This article examines how the meat production industry functions as a g…

It uses recent research on social-movement unionism and new labour internationalism to structure a series of case studies examining resistance to different dimensions of healthcare commodification in four countries. The range of alliances trade unions are making do not fit tidily into one mod…
