Just Transition Labour Centre: Interview with Waheed Hoosen

In this episode, we speak with Waheed Hoosen of HOSPERSA (an affiliate of FEDUSA) and Vice President within FEDUSA responsible for youth and climate change.
Waheed explains why the Just Transition Labour Centre (JTLC) matters for organised labour: it strengthens unions’ ability to produce evidence-based policy positions for collective bargaining, social dialogue and legislation. He discusses why workers and communities will be among the most affected by the transition, the need for government leadership, and the importance of moving from research into implementation—while ensuring decent work, labour rights, and real pathways for re-skilling and social protection.
