Young Workers
ITF translations available: Português, Español
in fact, if you are one of the
2,000,000,000
people in the world aged between 18 and 35...
you could have ALL THE POWER you need!

But not on your own. And only if you're organised.
Young people may be strong, but they are also vulnerable - especially at work.
Workers need protection. That's why they built unions.
And that's where we come in.
You need to get organised.
WE CAN HELP
|
Some young workers want temporary jobs.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS?
Some are happy to work 24/7.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO?
Some like to be flexible.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE DISPOSABLE?
Some are happy to take risks.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY SHOULD BE UNPROTECTED?
WE ALL WANT TO LIVE AS WE CHOOSE
WE ALL NEED SECURITY TO ACHIEVE IT
