Today is the day to celebrate International Youth Day (IYD). The Theme for IYD 2008 is YOUTH AND CLIMATE CHANGE: TIME FOR ACTION. PSI is taking the opportunity to call on young workers to join and get active in the trade union movement and for the trade union to reach out to young workers.

In this IYD 2008 Statement, PSI asserted their strong commitment to increase young workers participation in decision-making. At the last Congress in 2007, the PSI Constitution was amended to provide four seats for young workers on the international Executive Committee and encourages its affiliates to consider taking similar measures.

Please read the complete statement (in PDF) and distribute to your union and our network: PSI Statement for International Youth Day 2008
