“Blue-green alliance” is the name given to a strategic partnership formed between a union and an environmental group around a specific issue – “blue” referring to “blue-collar” workers, and “green” referring to environmentalists. This is an interesting case study on how two groups who are sometimes at odds with each other can find common ground on some issues involving environmental protection.
