Home  Campaigns Working Students Union NetworkWorking Students Union Network
The Working Students Union Network is an initiative of trade unions and student organisations to connect working students to unions on University campuses and Tafe Colleges. Students are workers. Students work in the industries we want careers in (such as nursing), and they often work in casual, vulnerable employment. But young workers are rarely union members. Unionism rates for young workers have fallen to 11%. Unions overseas organise students on campus to find future union activists and organisers. Organisations such as the Student Labor Action Project (SLAP) and Union Summer recruit and train young workers to become union active. The Working Students Union Network is developing student clubs on campuses to organise young workers and develop young union activists.
