"UNI-Europa Youth organises young workers up to the age of 35 from 350 unions throughout Europe, and sees its main role in addressing problems that young workers face on the labour market, and advancing the position of young workers. Young people are the future of the labour market; health and safety standards are a focal point for our members and us. Therefore UNI-Europa fully supports the Safe Start Campaign; it brings together the issues that form the basis of a working social Europe."
