Young workers who are in trade union recognised workplaces on average have better pay, safer places to work and have better than basic maternity, paternity and carer's leave.
However, for those who aren’t in trade unionised workplaces, it’s down to us to organise.

Especially when we work together.
There’s strength in numbers, and you’re never on your own when you have the trade union behind you.
