The United Steelworkers (USW) and the Sierra Club are working together in support of good jobs, a clean environment and a safer world under the Blue-Green Alliance they formed.
A labor & environmental alliance that includes the Sierra Club and the Steelworkers. The organization’s program includes a campaign to pass mandatory chemical security regulations — and both USW and Sierra Club are primary partners.
“We’ve become convinced that in a global economy, the companies that survive will develop sustainable environmental policies,” says David Foster, the Alliance’s first executive director, with headquarters at USW’s District #11 offices in Minneapolis. “It’s more than just an ethical point of view. It is the only way to have a viable, sustainable environment. You can’t have good jobs and a dirty environment. It’s both. It goes hand-in-hand.”
