In the early 1970s one of the most inspiring labour movement-based environmental campaigns was led by building workers in Australia. The story is recounted in Meredith Burgmann and Verity Burgmann’s Green Bans, Red Union (1998) and Greg Mallory’s, Uncharted Waters (2005). The AWL published an account by Mallory in Workers’ Liberty magazine No.64 in 2000 in the aftermath of the Seattle demonstrations.
