Trade Unions for Energy Democracy (TUED) is an emerging global community of unions who share the view that addressing today’s profound economic and environmental challenges will require a shift towards social ownership, community control and democratic direction of key economic sectors—among the most important of which is energy.

Unions are beginning to adopt energy democracy as a key policy commitment as a means of addressing both immediate worker concerns and the imminent threat of ecological destruction and runaway climate change. The 40-person strategy discussion on September 20 will consider how to expand this commitment across the international trade union movement.
