title: Jobs and the environment.
abstract: Noting that the U.S. is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) declares that the nation therefore "has a special responsibility to lead the way on emission controls and new investment in green technologies that can be adopted worldwide." The union has pledged to do its part and passed a resolution on the issues, incorporated here, at last year's annual convention.
