Unions Say ‘Yes’ to Revitalization

Unions Say ‘Yes’ to Revitalization is an EU-funded Action designed by the ITC‐ILO ACTRAV and the ETUC Youth Committee aimed at building union power through intergenerational partnership. The Action is built around ETUC’s forward‐looking strategy to boost trade union renewal and revitalization in Europe with young workers as the key drivers of change. The Action recognizes the challenges young people are facing in the world of work and the crucial role they can play in trade union revitalization.
