Young Workers’ Fortnight
19-30 June 2023
The theme of this year’s Young Workers’ Fortnight is ‘Let’s Make Work Better’. As your union, we really want to focus on building a community at work.
Research shows that being part of a community is beneficial for your mental health and it is our favourite part of the union movement.
