Climate@work (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781552665640)

Climate change is having an increasingly significant impact on work in Canada, and the effect climate change has, and will continue to have, on work concerns many Canadians. However, this fact has not been seriously considered either in academic circles, in the labour movement nor especially by the Canadian government. Climate@Work addresses this deficit by systematically tackling the question of the impact of climate change on work and employment and by analyzing Canada's conservative silence towards climate change and the Canadian government's refusal to take it seriously.
