CND works with trade unions to achieve our shared goal of securing a peaceful, just and nuclear-free future.

CND has collaborated with the RMT union to develop ‘The Alternative Defence Review’, which offers a new vision for peace, justice, and security. It exposes the false claims that increasing military spending will boost jobs and kick start Britain’s flagging economy.
The Review calls for a shift away from rearmament towards a defence strategy rooted in human security and common security that prioritises diplomacy, global cooperation, conflict prevention, and investment in health, education, climate action, social care, and the creation of well-paid, secure, unionised and socially useful jobs.
