This article aims to provide a better understanding of trade unions’ climate change strategies. Using a qualitative methodology based on an analysis of interviews and documents, the article sets out the three ideal-typical strategies of unions towards climate change mitigation policies: opposition, hedging and support. Our analysis finds that current trade union strategies on climate change are primarily rooted in sectoral interests mediated by union identities and conceptions of union democracy. At a theoretical level, the article contributes to broader debates on interest representation and collective bargaining behaviour by trade unions, in particular to the much-discussed tendency of organized groups to pursue private gains at the expense of common goods.

本文旨在更好地了解工会的气候变化战略。本文采用基于访谈和文件分析的定性方法，阐述了工会针对减缓气候变化政策制定的三种理想的典型战略：反对，对冲和支持。我们的分析发现，当前针对气候变化的工会战略主要植根于由工会身份和工会民主概念所调解的部门利益。从理论上讲，该文章为工会对利益代表和集体谈判行为的广泛辩论做出了贡献，特别是引起了人们广泛讨论的有组织的团体以牺牲共同商品为代价谋取私利的趋势。
