Abstract: [EN] This paper focuses on the effects of environmental policy over the perfomance of firms and workers, when there is local pollution. We assume that the government chooses the environmental policy announcing an upper limit on emissions, while unions (if they exist) choose the wage rates and the employment is chosen by firms. In short, we analyze the effect of unionized labour markets on environmental policy.
