Young Workers

To PSAC Locals/Branches, Area Councils and Regional Committees in BC: On behalf of the Mainland & Haida Gwaii Young Worker Committee, we would like to wish all PSAC members a very happy National Indigenous Peoples Day! To mark the occasion, we are writing to share an important initiative - Soaring to Success - by a group of Indigenous workers that came out of the PSAC’s Introduction to the Union for Indigenous Members course. 

On Saturday, April 14 at 8 pm, members of the BCFED Young Workers’ Committee are returning to Mac’s Convenience Store to raise awareness of the need for better protections for late night workers. Following the tragic death of Grant De Patie in a gas-and-dash incident in 2005, occupational health and safety regulations were strengthened to better protect late night retail workers. The new regulations were referred to as Grant’s Law. However, in April of 2012, the regulations were watered down due to pressure from companies like Mac’s.

Do you think young workers are underrepresented in the Public Service Alliance of Canada? Do you want to do something about inequality? Are you concerned with the rising cost of housing? Is Childcare an important issue for you? How about a $15.00 minimum wage? Are you concerned with job security and precarious work? Get involved with a Young Worker Committee and have your voice heard!

Hello Young Workers! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is James Brierley and at the 2017 PSAC BC Triennial Convention I was honored to have been acclaimed as your new PSAC BC Young Worker Coordinator.

We sat down with some of our members under thirty-five and asked them about our union, how they got involved, and what being a union activist means to them. Here's what they had to say. http://youtu.be/1p9ZpX4xh8Y
