2002 Solidarity Campaign
Young workers, like all workers, want to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect!
In 2002 the PSAC BC Regional Council embarked on a journey to look at the needs of young workers in the region through the Solidarity Campaign for Young Workers. This involved contacting, educating and organizing young workers under thirty, regardless of their employment status. This pro-active held from April to September, was to:
- identify young workers’ issues and rights in the workplace
- build and strengthen the relationship and involvement of young workers with the PSAC
- build understanding of our common issues as workers, regardless of age or employment status.
- Many young workers under thirty, be they students, casual, term or indeterminate, have been contacted and involved in the Solidarity Campaign. As a result, the BC region is one of the first regions in the PSAC with a caucus for young workers!
Even though the Solidarity Campaign had ended, the young workers’ caucus continues. Get involved today! Contact the PSAC BC Regional Council Youth Coordinator Jamey Mills:
