AUPE’s standing Youth Committee met at union Headquarters in Edmonton
on March 5.
The committee was created during AUPE’s 2001 Annual Convention
based on a number of factors, including the fact that young people under
26 have been identified by the labour movement as an equity-seeking group
that tends to be clustered in the secondary labour market.
AUPE recognizes that youth are an invaluable asset to our union now, make
up the future of our union, and that young workers stand to gain enormously
by becoming more in AUPE and other unions.
The committee aims to help young people empower their working lives by
becoming more involved in AUPE and other unions.
