Environmental problems are often simplistically reduced to a catch-22 that portrays sustainability-oriented policies as disastrous for resource-sector workers. Despite efforts by many industry leaders to frame climate change in "jobs versus environment" terms, the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP) has supported ambitious greenhouse gas reduction policies. Using interviews with union members and staff, this study examines CEP's climate change framing. It finds the union extended the environmental justice master frame in order to define climate change policies in relation to its members interests, neutralize the energy industry's anti-Kyoto rhetoric, and create common ground with environmental groups. CEP's framing was accomplished through negotiation processes that continue to unfold as members work out the union's positions in relation to their own values, experiences, and interpretations of what is possible or achievable. These findings suggest sustainability is an emergent and contested social order, rather than an objective or fixed ideal.
