Joel Decaïllon: We need SUSTAINLABOUR

Speech by our former President as his farewell to Sustainlabour

We need SUSTAINLABOUR. With the crisis that we are facing the balance between development,
environment, climate change, and social protection, are at risk of becoming secondary on the agenda. The
extremely violent attack in Europe of almost all social protection security systems, and to the welfare state,
that are the foundations of social relations in Europe, is very important.

But it doubles as an attack on industrial relations that in many countries challenge the Labour Code and
basic social rights, and above all that hold as an objective the review of collective bargaining systems in
particular at sectoral or national level, for the benefit of exclusive negotiations at company level. In fact, this
is dismantling the elements of solidarity and social cohesion which have been at the core of European trade
union struggles in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

Whether in Greece, Spain, Italy, and in the Central European countries, not only are labour codes being
jeopardized, but the whole industrial relations system. Collective agreements are frozen in Greece, or in
Spain, employers are trying to dismantle the employees´ coverage system. The OECD has just published a
report in which it proposes that the working relationship once again becomes an individual one, and that the
worker accepts a contract through mutual agreement since unemployment is growing!

With this crisis, there is a serious risk that the labour costs are the element of competition throughout the
world. The only proposed variable of adjustment in all current austerity plans is the reduction of the labour
and social protection costs. This is why unions should not only protect employees but also engage in a
broader approach that puts into perspective the conditions for development in a context where climate
change could deepen inequalities between continents but also within continents, where the management of
natural resources is more and more problematic with the risks of war that this may cause. There is a need for
an approach that combines environmental protection with social protection, and the protection of public
health and food security.

The Arab spring, the so-called movement of the Indignados has shown the rejection of resignation, the
requirement for respect and dignity. But also the need for more transparency, more traceability in the
economy, and in political decision-making to meet these massive challenges.

No, we are not resigned. Our fight needs to broaden alliances, and it needs an approach more open to
society. In this regard, a massive presence of unions in the negotiations on climate change is extremely
valuable. Again, here the role of Sustainlabour is particularly relevant. More than ever we need solidarity and
cohesion amongst the unions to avoid competition between workers; competition can not be the sole engine
of development. Work is not a commodity, as it reads in the human rights Declaration of Philadelphia. But

2011 Annual Report

 Sustainlabour. International Labour Foundation for Sustainable Development

neither is the planet. With 7 billion people we need other conditions for development; this means a new
distribution of wealth, a fairer distribution, and new cooperation especially in the area of technology and
innovation. If unionism wants to be an active part of these discussions it needs expertise and in this sense,
the development of Sustainlabour is a very decisive one.

I wish to pay tribute to Laura and Judith and to the entire Sustainlabour team. With great sincerity, I thank
them for the efficiency they have shown since the creation of Sustainlabour, with a militant spirit rare in these
types of foundations, a lot of dedication and much sacrifice to ensure that the foundation continues its work. I
think the board must make serious efforts to ensure that the work commenced continues and that different
means are provided to strengthen the organization.

Indeed it is exceptional to have global recognition of a foundation in so little time. The work they initiated with
the first President Joaquin Nieto allowed them not only to gain recognition but also to introduce the trade
union movement to the international forums on environment.

This has been centred on thorough and serious work based on the concept of research on education as well
as on the quite exceptional dissemination of documents. I will mention one that has really impressed me, and
it is the manual on chemical management which has allowed for the advancement of the debate, knowledge,
views, especially on the basis of REACH - an EU regulation, which mobilized ETUC for many months.
With fraternity and solidarity.

Joel Decaillon
Former President of Sustainlabour.

changed this pattern significantly when they only accounted for 5% of the total amount. This was only due to
circumstantial reasons, such as temporary ending of several programmes in the area. Along this line, in
contrast with previous years Sustainlabour organised a large number of activities in Europe, mainly in Spain,
thus increasing the number of participants from this particular region.

sent out to organisations upon request, but clearly the number of downloads of these same materials
from the website is much higher, although we do not have figures on this. The UNEP training manuals,
in particular those on climate change, continue to be the most requested. One interesting outcome is that,
although these manuals were intended for use in training in developing countries, they are also very much in
requested in European ones.

Madrid Dialogue with the UN High Level Panel on Global Sustainability

High Level Dialogue among trade union leaders, the UN High Level Panel on Global Sustainability and the
leaders of other social movements.

2011 Annual Report

 Sustainlabour. International Labour Foundation for Sustainable Development

The UN High Level Panel on Global Sustainability has been mandated to rethink the Development Paradigm
for Prosperity in a low carbon world. The main purpose of this dialogue event was to provide space for trade
unions to exchange views with the UN High level Panel on Global Sustainability as well as with other
relevant actors, such as members of the industrial sector, social movements, NGOs and United Nations
bodies.
Three main issues were discussed in three round tables: green taxation, social protection and green and
decent jobs. These issues were selected due to their shown potential to tackle, in a joint manner, economic,
social and environmental challenges and due to the role that employment and social inclusion policies could
play toward triggering sustainable development. The final session focused on the Rio + 20 summit and on
how to advance on concrete objectives that are part of truly transformative policies and that generate the
necessary mobilization and participation of society in this summit.

A final publication of the dialogue was released

Malaysia: manual and seminar on environmental management

andchemical risk in hotels

Tourism is a world-wide growing sector related to the surrounding environment. Environment preservation
and management is a mid- and long-term goal of interest to the tourism sector, and issue of growing concern
and action. Environmental management is also directly related to work processes and workers have an
important say in it.
Sustainlabour produced a guide to serve as a practical tool on environmental management for workers in the
hotel and tourism industry in Malaysia. It covers the main environmental impacts associated with the daily
work activities in hotels and offers specific insights in the area of chemicals, water, energy and waste, as well
as on how to better protect the environment through day-to-day activities in the workplace.
“Decisions about environmental issues cannot only be a thing for companies. From the trade union we want
to participate in the discussions and we want the Committee on occupational health and environment to
serve us in this sense”.

These were some of the closing words of Alfred Iruthiarajoo, President of the workers´ Committee in the
Genting Resort at the end of the seminar, held from March 9-10, 2011and jointly organized by the Malaysian
Trade Union Council (MTUC) and Sustainlabour.
Entitled Environmental management in hotel facilities: A close look at the chemical risk issues, the seminar
was directed at workers at the Genting Resort, an enormous hotel complex with more than 13,000 workers.
A small group of 20 unionists took part in the seminar from diverse departments such as laundry services,
kitchen, maintenance, room service, reception, communication and publicity.
The first seminar of its kind to be organized in the hotel, the event combined theoretical sessions on the
environmental problems in hotel facilities and chemical risk regulations in Malaysia, with interventions from
external experts, more practical discussion sessions with the Vice-President of occupational health from the
hotel’s human resources department. In addition a detection exercise was carried out of environmental
problems, in particular in the area of chemical risk, energy, water and waste, as well as of possible actions to
be developed by the company, according to department with the objective of servicing for trade union action
on these issues and that could be brought for discussion to the workers´ Committee.

Climate change policies, green and decent work in Asia Pacific

Training Workshop on “Climate Change Policies, Green and Decent Work” organized by ACTRAV/ILO with
Sustainlabour in Bangkok, Thailand. February 21-25, 2011
The training workshop, which gathered 32 trade union participants from Asia Pacific, was organized by the
Bureau for Workers´ Activities (ACTRAV) of the ILO. It was a space which contributed to the understanding
of the challenges and the links between cliamte change policies and the promotion of Decent Work in the
region.
The event’s one–week long programme combined presentations from experts and working groups. At the
end of the workshop, 10 countries from the region – Bangladesh, Cambodia, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam, presented work plans.

Preparing COP17: Seminar on climate change in South Africa for union

leaders

Training seminar organized by ITUC, NALEDI and Sustainlabour, preparing for COP17 in Durban.
Leaders from all of the federations, the biggest South African federations (COSATU, FEDUSA and NACTU)
met in order to better understand what will be discussed in Durban, and above all to put forth trade union
proposals, looking ahead to the summit, but also beyond Durban: national policy proposals on climate
change.
This session was truly a coordination exercise between Sustainlabour, the ITUC, NALEDI, WWF and the
South African trade unions. The session included the participation of 82 unionists and some representatives
of other movements who took part in debates over 2 days.
Zwelenzima Vavi, the General Secretary of COSATU opened the session in the midst of a particularly
unusual climatic season in South Africa, where snowfall had left numerous truckers blocked en route, and in
Africa in general, with a drought for example in the south of Somalia that has taken thousands of lives. Vavi
emphasized the impossibility of maintaining the same pattern of development, without taking into
consideration the consequences of climate change.
The following were some of the issues discussed at the seminar:

• Climate change and the need to change paradigm: Louise Naude, WWF; Jacklyn Cock.

• Climate change governance and the United Nations Framework Convention: Laura Martin,
Sustainlabour.

• Sectoral perspectives of a low-carbon economy: Anabella Rosemberg, ITUC.

• The South African government´s response to climate change: Mark Gordon, General Director of the
Environment Department.

• Trade union campaigns and climate change: Campaigns on electricity and energy, on security of
access to water, on food security and the One million jobs campaign.

• Civil society preparations for Durban: Sibusisu Gumede of COSATU and Bryan Ashe of GeaSphere.

On the last day a closed session was held only for COSATU´s affiliates where COSATU´s proposal
framework on climate change was discussed.

Regional training in Africa: Decent work and sustainable development

From August 22 – 26, 2011 a meeting was organized in Kisumu, Kenya by ACTRAV and the ILO´s
International Training Centre of Turin to discuss and validate a training manual for African workers on
Sustainable Development and Decent Work.

The manual was presented by Sustainlabour during the seminar, which included the participation of national
trade union centres from Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, ITUC Africa, as well as global unions
such as PSI and ICEM, addressing issues such as the role of ecosystem management, the role of decent
work and social protection in advancing toward a green economy, as well how to mainstream the
environment agenda into the work programmes on decent work of each country, among others.

This is the second regional guide on Sustainable Development and Decent Work. In 2009 we developed the
one for Latin America.

Campaigning!

Fighting climate change, protecting forests and livelihoods in Nepal

Nepalese workers and their trade unions are committed to fighting climate change by protecting Nepal’s
beautiful forests and livelihoods, and are taking concrete actions to reduce deforestation. For over 30 years
Nepalese communities have been working hard to manage their forests and to help protect their
environment.
The Nepalese Trade Union Congress Independent (NTUC-I), with the support of Sustainlabour has been
working on a campaign for workers from the forestry and agricultural sector to tackle climate change and
deforestation. Nepalese trade unions understand the importance of learning about the effects of climate
change, about the country’s vulnerability and how to adapt, about what is REDD (Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries), and to raise workers´ voices to press for the
recognition of the role of community forests´ in climate change mitigation and conservation.
Workers have an important role to play in the making of decisions on forestry management and calling for
the promotion of job creation in the agriculture, water, forestry, transportation, renewable energy, waste
management and tourism sectors, to protect biodiversity and prevent environmental degradation. Nepalese
trade unions are on the way to doing just that.
This initiative is part of the joint UNEP-Sustainlabour programme “Towards Green and Decent Jobs:
Enhancing Workers and Trade Unions´ Capacity”.

Organizing waste collectors in Uruguay for green and decent jobs

Waste collectors are coming out of marginalization and demanding decent, green jobs. Promoting sound
waste management, calling for national policy changes, selective collection, productive use of waste, &

involving their fellow citizens in the reduction and sorting of waste at the source, are some of the objectives
of this campaign.
The campaign is part of a line of work that is being developed by the group of Health and Environment of the
Uruguay trade union PIT-CNT, along with the Union of Solid Urban Waste Classifiers (UCRUS, a trade union
of informal waste classifiers, and a member of the PIT -CNT), REDES-Friends of the Earth (non-
governmental organization) and the Department of Extension of the University of the Republic.
The campaign is an example of how workers organize, toward raising their political voice, demanding
recognition and dignifying the vital work that they do which makes important social, economic and ecological
contributions, such as mitigating global warming. Through the campaign workers are encouraging the
incorporation of civil society organizations in the sustainable management of solid waste in order to promote
a change in national waste policy on the following basis:

• To minimize the environmental impact of waste, avoiding where possible burial or incineration.
• To ensure the maximum value of the recovery of waste through conscious action and systematic
classification for reuse and recycling.
• To integrate and organize informal classifiers into the recovery chain, so as to promote integration
and social inclusion and improving their quality of life.

This initiative is part of the joint UNEP-Sustainlabour programme “Towards Green and Decent Jobs:
Enhancing Workers and Trade Unions´ Capacity”.

Ugandan Truck Drivers working for the environment

Truck drivers working for the environment? Truck drivers have launched a campaign to better understand the
changes taking place around them. They often transport dangerous cargo - a risk to their health and the
environment. Knowing more about what is being transported, how to manage waste, calling for occupational
health & safety and environment committees, are some of the objectives of this campaign.
What’s more Ugandan truck drivers want to show that climate change can be tackled from any sector. They
are learning how to mitigate it, how to drive more efficiently, reduce use of fuel.
The Amalgamated Transport and General Workers´ Union (ATGWU), with the support of Sustainlabour has
been working on this campaign to raise awareness on climate change, its affects on the environment and on
workers´ health, by addressing specific environmental challenges related to this sector. Truck drivers and
workers at Roadside Resource Centres are learning about how to reduce pollution, transport substances and
dispose of waste in a safe way, take better care of their vehicles, drive efficiently, and how to demand joint
action by employers and the government on recycling and waste disposal practices in order to protect the
surrounding environment – water, soil and wetlands.
This initiative is part of the joint UNEP-Sustainlabour programme “Towards Green and Decent Jobs:
Enhancing Workers and Trade Unions´ Capacity”.

Opening new work areas: new initiatives

The World of work and Biodiversity

With this new project Sustainlabour aimed at:

• Raise awareness among workers on the importance of protecting biodiversity.

• Reflect on what are the policies that defend biodiversity at the same time that they can raise people
out of poverty, offer decent jobs and make us part of democratic decision-making in the long term.
• Gather more information on the relationship between biodiversity and employment in the framework
of the current debate on green economy.
• Know about the impacts on employment of the policies on the protection of biodiversity in different
sectors (management of natural spaces, fishing, forestry management, agriculture and livestock,
tourism, environment education and training, environmental services to companies)

a. To explore economic opportunities and for the creation of employment in biodiversity

conservation and ecosystems restoration, how to strengthen these opportunities with legislative
measures or economic instruments, and challenges for decent work creation.
b. To go into greater depth into the challenges of those sectors that represent a serious danger
to biodiversity but that at the same time are intensive from a labour point of view, and represent
the current earnings of large segments of the population (deforestation, agriculture).

• We would like to understand and work on the implications for just transitions toward a production
model that respects biological diversity: a clear and resounding commitment for equity, justice and
biodiversity, for decent and quality work.
• We would like to know about and to spread national and local experiences that are inspiring
• We would like to inform the debate on biodiversity and follow the negotiations on the Convention of
Biological Diversity.

In 2011 we established a trade union working group on the issue, compiled related experiences and started
the research on biodiversity and employment.

Supporting the voice of workers in environmental negotiations

The COP in Durban

As every year, the most attended environmental negotations of the year was the climate change COP.
In terms of participation, the trade union delegation consisted of 263 participants registered for the
Conference on the Parties, the largest non-governmental delegation at COP17. These participants were
joined by many more who attended activities in parallel events at the World of Workers Pavilion and the Civil
Society C17 space.

Over 50% of the participants -58% in total - where from developing countries. Based on ITUC´s report, below
is a glance at the trade union delegation:

Prior to Durban: Sustainlabour provided overall coordination and logistics arrangements (flight travel and
visa) for part of trade union delegation from developing countries. More than 35 flight travel and visa
arrangements were made during October and November.

During COP17, Sustainlabour provided the following support:

▪ in terms of logistics: providing coordination and facilitating the morning trade union meetings and
side events, and keeping the delegation informed on housekeeping arrangements (buses/transport,
etc.)

▪ in terms of content: mainly on the discussions on financing (following the official meetings,
participating in the NGOs network caucus, and providing the briefings related to financing for the
trade union delegation)

Durban also held the third edition of the World of Workers Pavilion. WoW has become a classic feature of
trade unions´ activities in the climate negotiations. As such, it has a growing relevance, attendance and
intensity.

This year the WoW pavilion ran for a full week, in

parallel with the negotiations, providing a space for
more than 40 organisations to share their ideas,
policies and actions on climate change and its
linkages with the world of work. Sustainlabour
coordinated the activities with the affiliates and was
in charge of logistical arrangements with the ITUC.

In addition, Sustainlabour organised two side

events at the WoW Pavilion: one on financing
climate change and the other one from Rio to
Durban. They were very well attended, counting
with 136 participants. For the first time, the World of Work pavilion also incorporated a series of capacity
building exercises. The same “introductory training” was organised on three consecutive days targeting shop
stewards workers, with the participation of around150 people.

Sustainlabour followed and supported also the participation on unionists in the folllowing
negotiations.
