Young Workers Hub
Loading
Young workers are more likely to be exploited, injured, and harassed at work than any other age demographic.
Too often we hear people say ‘well that’s what all first jobs are like’ or ‘it’s how they learn’.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Together we can change that.

Young Workers Deserve Better
The Young Workers Hub inspires, educates, and empowers young workers. Founded in 2018, we are based at the Queensland Council of Unions in Brisbane/Meanjin.What do we do?
01.
We Campaign
We campaign for real change on issues that undermine the power of young people at work and beyond.
02.
We Educate
We educate young people on their rights at work in schools, TAFEs, Unis, businesses and wherever else.
03.
We Win Big
We have criminalised wage theft, and held one of the biggest hospitality employers in South East Queensland to account over their dodgy practices.
