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.

Why should you be paid less just because of your age? If you are doing the same job, you deserve the same pay.

Young Teachers Need Support

We have a teacher shortage crisis and it’s just putting more pressure on young teachers. We need to reduce workload pressures, provide greater mentoring, and increase their pay.

Better Deal for Casuals

Whether it’s your hours getting cut for no reason, having to find your own replacement, or going to work sick, the system of casual work needs to be better.
