Labour and the Environment

February 28, 2015 to March 01, 2015

The McMaster Labour Studies Certificate program is intended to meet the educational goals of those wishing to pursue lifelong learning in a supportive and worker friendly environment. Courses are developed on principles of adult education currently practiced in unions. The learning process is based on a commitment to students and respect for prior knowledge, workplace experiences and activism.

Labour and the Environment
Work and the environment are often seen as being opposed to one another because of the damages caused by work on the 'natural' environment. What is most often overlooked is that the workplace is an "environment" as well. In this course, we will look at the relationships between workplace and 'natural' environments to better understand why are at odds and how improvements in workplace environments can bring improvements to 'natural' environments.
