Twenty-eight year-old Fatima Aguado Queipo, CC.OO, from Spain says:

“Trade unionists should ask young people what they need from the union and find out what our main problems are. We suffer from working in positions that are precarious, just as women and migrant workers do. If we’re not unionised, we won’t have the power to change our poor working conditions.

“If we don’t get young people into trade unions, what will happen in 15 years’ time? Won’t the unions disappear? Young people are also social agents. We have to make them aware of the importance of becoming members.

“Young workers should be involved on unions’ executive boards. This is not easy because some people think very traditionally. But it’s important that we are not a department that is apart from the union.

“Young people are very creative and well-prepared. We can create new ways of fighting for our working conditions.”

Fatima has recently been involved in a protest at Ryanair over precarious work. View the video and photos above, or visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdoZ6ASw6w8
