The National Labor College (NLC), in cooperation with the AFL-CIO’s Center for Green Jobs, launched the Green Labor Journal.  One of the goals of Green Labor Journal is to showcase union green initiatives in an accessible format, and to provide up-to-date information from a labor perspective on new developments in green policy, technology and work processes.

Each month, the Journal will cover the following topics: Feature Article on green jobs and the new green economy; Cleantech Tracker; Affiliate Actions; NLC Green Education and Training; AFL-CIO Center for Green Jobs; Green For All (starting with the December issue) and a “Did You Know?” section on important events and news items.

The Journal is edited by Jerry Brown, Ph.D., Founding Professor of Global and Sociocultural Studies at Florida International University in Miami.
