At the time when young people are mainly employed on a fixed-term basis or are simply surrendered to patterns of the labour market, and their rights are as often as not neglected, their youth is not always an advantage. Realizing the specific quality of the needs and forms of employing young workers, the UATUC decided to gather, in an equally specific way, young workers and give them insight into everything that awaits them at the labour market, as well as how to fight for their own rights. The Youth Section organizes annual education and training courses for the trade union work, public appearances, i.e. active influence on the events in the surrounding. |
