(Un)just transitions and working-class environmentalism: a collaborative ethnography on the trade union Labour Solidarity in Western Macedonia.

Energy transition in Greece has been a divisive apple of discord concerning the trajectory of the ongoing labour and ecological transitions. This paper comprises a collaborative ethnography between a Ph.D. student and a unionist coal miner and investigates the political strategies of the trade union "Labour Solidarity" in the context of the energy transition in Western Macedonia. Employing a diverse data corpus, the co-researchers explore how the trade union represents the different types of injustices that the unfolding energy transition in Western Macedonia brings about. The authors reflect on different aspects of labour environmentalism to highlight the connection between the protection of health, workers' rights and the environment in trade union claims and their representation as interconnected demands. Particular attention will be paid to the union's dual interpretation of lignite elimination as labour precarization and environmental degradation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
