Low pay is the biggest problem facing young workers and students today. Even though young workers, students and apprentices are working longer hours than ever, more and more young people are living in extreme poverty. One way in which we can fight against student poverty is to organise our workplaces, and to fight for better wages and conditions.

The first step, for all workers is to know your rights at work. Many students and young workers are not aware of their rights, and are often ripped off at work.
