A National Conference for Young Workers
Adelaide 26-27 July 2007 8.30 am - 4.30 pm Conference Centre, Level 4, Union Building, University of Adelaide
Registration for Fight for the Future is now open. Registration is FREE Download the registration form
The SA Unions U-Who Project is hosting the national conference. Young workers from all over the country are invited to come together, share their experiences and hear first hand how the Federal Government’s Industrial Relations legislation is impacting on young people.
Our target audience are young people under the age of 30 who are working fulltime or combining work and study.
Young people have been significantly disadvantaged by the changes to work laws and electoral enrolment procedures over the past year.
The conference theme is young people working together to fight for their rights to a fair go in the workplace.
The importance of enrolling to vote and making informed choices on election day will be a concurrent theme.
There will be three workshop streams for the following groups: · High school and TAFE students (an Integrated Learning Assessment Plan has been developed for high school students) · Union Organisers, union delegates and activists; · Community or grassroots activists
Participants will develop action plans based on the conference themes that can be implemented upon their return to school, workplaces and local communities.
Guest speakers will include young workers, advocates, parents, teachers and community leaders who will all give different perspectives on the issues young people are experiencing in today’s workplace.
But it won’t be a talk- fest! The conference program will have a strong focus on building relationships and team work through the use of creativity, energy, fun and action-based activities.
Details about speakers, plenary and workshop sessions will be available soon.
