Young workers are the future of HEU

Its your job. Its your world. Its your union. That’s the theme of this year’s week of recognition for young workers, from September 28 to October 4.

Young workers are the future shop stewards, Local chairpersons, and even Provincial Executive members of this union.
  • Young workers are encouraged to talk to their shop steward or Local chairperson and learn more about the role of unions in their job, and in their world.

Ideas for Local activists!

  • Invite young workers to your next Local meeting. Take the time to make it a warm and welcoming place.
  • Find out what issues matter to the young workers in your local.
  • Share stories with young workers about why you became active in the union.
  • Let young workers know that they can talk to you about their questions and ideas.
  • Host a pizza lunch or potluck and encourage young workers to attend. Use this opportunity to get to know each other.
  • Organize social events outside of the workplace (or after a local meeting).
  • Check out the Resource Guide for more ideas and suggestions.
