Young Workers Committee logo

The Young Workers Standing Committee engages with young workers (aged 35 and under) to revitalize the union; raise awareness among all HEU members of youth issues; educate non-union and unemployed youth about the labour movement, social justice issues, and their rights; and identifies and develops action plans on issues affecting young workers.

The Young Workers Standing Committee was formerly a Provincial Executive subcommittee, and was established as an equity standing committee at HEU’s 32nd biennial convention in 2021.
