G8 seeks environmentally friendly workplaces
Labor representatives of the Group of Eight industrialized nations agreed Tuesday that they must take measures to deal with the impact climate change will have on the labor market. The agreement was announced on the final day of the three-day labor meeting in Niigata. In a chairman's conclusion released at the end of the summit, participants agreed that policy responses to fight climate change are likely to force industries to cut costs, and concurrently to slash jobs.
