September 2015 / Young <strong>Work</strong>er Media Project<br />

Everyone agrees, in some way or another, th<strong>at</strong> young workers are the "future of labor." But this doesn't<br />

guarantee us a voice in the movement—let alone <strong>at</strong> the workplace, or in the broader convers<strong>at</strong>ion. So, we<br />

need our own media. Using media, we can elev<strong>at</strong>e the voices of young workers and bring more voices into<br />

the mix. Young worker media can encompass the diverse identities of young workers and bridge the divide<br />

between union workers, non-union workers, and other young people.
