Leeds Young Workers’ Patrol
Saturday 27 June | Leeds

Are you passionate about fairness at work? Want to help other young workers know their rights?

The TUC North East, Yorkshire and Humber Young Workers’ Patrol is coming to Leeds on Saturday 27 June and we want you to be part of it.

The patrol is a hands on project where young trade unionists visit workplaces to talk directly with young workers about their jobs, pay, rights and conditions. It’s all about listening, learning and taking action together to make work fairer and safer.

This is open to young trade union members in the North East Yorkshire and Humber region. No experience needed, just enthusiasm and a commitment to equality at work.
