'''Green syndicalism''' or '''Eco-syndicalism''' has been used as a name for the philosophy of the '''green guild''' or '''sustainable trades''' movement.<ref>[http://www.123exp-government.com/t/03774226291/ Green syndicalism] from [http://www.123exp-government.com/ The Language of Politic] Dictionary and Research guide. Retrieved August 21, 2008.</ref>

== Background ==
It is related to [[Anarcho-syndicalism]] and [[Eco-anarchism]] methodologically, but lacks specifically [[anarchism]] and [[Marxism]] as [[ideology|ideologies]]. (However, the term has also been used by those embracing both anarchism and syndicalism, such as authors [[Graham Purchase]] and [[Jeff Shantz]]).

Its methods are a fusion of the [[trade union]], more robust methods from formal [[syndicalism]], and the [[direct action]] and [[workplace democracy]] movements (the most prominent proponent of green syndicalism is the [[IWW]]). It may work closely with [[green movement]] and [[fair trade]] groups. However, it does not usually adopt the larger political goals of these movements. It is more likely to be an outgrowth of [[craft]] and [[heritage]]{{dn}} worker movements, e.g. to preserve [[wooden ship]] building, or traditional [[organic movement|organic]] ranching methods.

Some think the eco-syndicalists are closely related to the [[Back-to-the-land movement|back-to-the-land]], [[survivalist]], or [[hippie]] movements, or to [[ethical tradition]]s that resemble those movements such as [[Mennonite]]s, e.g. the [[Amish]], especially for their focus on [[appropriate technology]]. They are, however, willing to adopt new technologies, and to work with other, similar groups worldwide.
