Support the Youth Fight for Jobs Campaign

Here is a campaign that is definitely one for teachers to support - to try and prevent us just teaching for the dole queue. See www.youthfightforjobs.com

More than three million are expected to be unemployed by the end of 2009. Young people are among the first to be thrown on the scrapheap. Currently, 40% of those losing their jobs are between 18 and 24.

The Youth Fight for Jobs campaign calls for a programme of government job creation and for an end to job losses. It is campaigning around three main demands, for the right to a decent job for all, with a living wage of at least £8 an hour. No to cheap labour apprenticeships! For all apprenticeships to pay at least the minimum wage, with a job guaranteed at the end. No to university fees. Support the Campaign to Defeat Fees.
