The article reviews the history of labor-environment interactions in the United States and examines a series of problems and potential areas of promise for the movements: difficulties of coalition building, expectations of reciprocation, local versus. National connections, and the question of differing class cultures and interests. Three areas of potential research and action are suggested: new roles for the mainstream environmental groups, just transition alliances, and climate justice alliances. The authors propose that the environmental justice and environmental health wings of the green movement are more suited to making long-term coalitions with labor than are habitat-oriented green groups.
