The motion
That the Parliament commends the support by the Bakers, Food, and Allied Workers’ Union and the University and College Union for the proposed global general strike for climate in September 2019; understands that this would be the first instance of international industrial action in response to the climate crisis; recognises the need for bold and radical action to combat this worsening crisis, and supports action by trade unions and organised workers' movements to do this in an economically and socially-just manner.
