International Youth Day 2009
12 August is United Nations International Youth Day (IYD)
MORE JOBS, BETTER JOBS FOR YOUNG WORKERS!
12 August is International Youth Day (IYD). The theme for IYD 2009 is “More jobs, better jobs for young workers!" PSI is taking the opportunity to call on young workers to join and get active in the trade union movement and on the trade union movement to reach out to young workers. The views, ideas and participation of young workers are vital to meeting the most pressing challenges of
today’s globalised world, including precarious work, rising unemployment and increasing poverty.
PSI is working with young workers at a regional, sub-regional and national levels to find innovative ways for them to participate in trade union activities.
The PSI declaration for International Youth Day and the three posters prepared by PSI are now available. You can access them by clicking on the links below.
Join the union, be active, send a text message today!
