Environmental Attitudes of Union Members in the U.S.

What is it about?

We report our findings on workers attitudes and behaviors regarding a variety of environmental issues. In particular, we examine the attitudes and behaviors of unionized workers to see how they may differ from the non-union respondents. The results might surprise those whose image of workers comes only from the media.
