There’s not many jobs available for young people. Youth unemployment is through the roof. And if you do find a job you could be ripped off by your boss, as many young workers have been.
For many big businesses wage theft is becoming a business model.
We’ve also seen people’s pay cut with the slashing of penalty rates in retail, pharmacy, hospitality and fast food. Now, the Government is replacing proper jobs with $4 an hour positions.
As the cost of everything is getting more expensive, people’s wages aren’t keeping up.
The rules at work are broken for young people.
Only by being a member of your union can we change the rules, so all young people have better pay and their rights at work protected.
If you want to join a union but you're not sure which to join, you can leave your details with the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) and they'll help you join the right union for you.
If you aren't working, you can join the Australian Unemployed Workers' Union for free but they appreciate donations too.
Competition entrants can also choose to join Blue Mountains Unions & Community for $1 (normally $5 unwaged and $20 waged).
You can also join the grassroots campaign, organised by Australian Unions and powered by people to
change the rules.
