It is with great pleasure to inform you that from 24-28 September2007, PSI is conducting the 28th World Congress and will mark one hundred years of PSI’s existence, from 1907 to 2007. The Centennial Congress taking place in the Messezentrum Wien Congress Center,Vienna, Austria, prior to the Congress, one day programme is setting up for the young worker’s on 23rd September 2007 “Young Workers’Meeting”. Empowering young workers around the world and letting them speak for themselves-in their own words-is a key priority for PSI.

PSI supports young people who want to have a say in decision making and in the changes which affect their lives. PSI will encourage the participation and involvement of young people in using their voices and words to define what they want and what is important. To achieve sustainable change, young people need to be able to speak; and they need to be listened to.

PSI considers that young workers need to given the opportunity to become involved in union work and be mobilized to support trade union rights issues. Unions must ensure that they have appropriate representation within union structure and negotiation teams.

Hoping that PSI Centennial Congress will be done successfully, it is not just only Congress but the celebration of the PSI movement globally and the most important is supporting the voices of young workers within PSI.
