abstract: 'In this paper, we examine one institution that has received less
attention in scholarly debates about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
despite its inherent connection to economic activity and political
activism: labor unions. For some, unions represent particularistic
interest groups that pursue the economic interests of their members at
the expense of the environment. For others, they represent the organized
political voice of a working class demanding safe and healthy work
environments and communities. We also consider how the effect of unions
is conditioned by institutional context, including the presence of
employment protection laws and the degree of corporatist governance. We
use error correction models (ECMs) to examine the relationship between
union density and GHG emissions among 18 affluent countries between the
years of 1990 and 2010. We find union density to be associated with
reduced GHG emissions, net of controls. We also find that unions have a
greater reducing capacity when they are able to participate in policy
formation, but that capacity is reduced with the presence of strong
employment protection laws. We conclude that further research is needed
before policy decisions are made and hope that this study opens up new
discussions about the role of labor in addressing climate change.'
