No More McJobs - Decent Work For All

YCL General Secretary Joanne Stevenson urges the labour movement to begin to take the conditions affecting young workers seriously.

The labour movement neglects the concerns of young people and then wonders why it has so few of them. Given that some 40% of the unemployed are young people it goes without saying that mass joblessness is a big problem.

But it is also the case that most youth jobs are in the so-called peripheral categories; most young people have their own technical term for it – crap jobs. But to be nice, the YCL calls them McJobs.
