12.30-1.30pm and 5.30-6.30pm PCS meeting room at PCS 3rd Floor, Town Centre House, Merrion Centre, Woodhouse Lane LS2 8LY
The regional TUC and a number of activists have been working on this important project to tackle Yorkshire and Humber’s high carbon gas emissions from a belt of heavy industry – steel, glass, cement, chemicals etc. There are many good unionised jobs dependent on these important industries. To secure these jobs for the future we have to find ways to reduce their carbon output. But how?

Please see briefing attached Yorkshire and Humber low carbon industry brief (1) and message from Jenny Patient below:
