U-Who is the youth movement within the South Australian union movement.  U-Who assists young workers to build workplaces and workforces that are free of exploitation, harassment and discrimination.

U-Who ensures that the views of young people are heard and taken seriously by the South Australian community. We believe that the only way young workers can have an effective voice at the workplace, without being targeted individually, is collectively through unions. We encourage young people aged 30 years and under to get active in campaigning for better pay and working conditions by joining the union movement.

The 'Real' Work Experience

We are really concerned about the exploitation of young people in the workforce. We have surveyed young people aged 15-25 years and have found:
•  1 in 4 are bullied at work
•  Half of all young people are employed as casuals
•  1 in 4 are sacked for unfair reasons
•  Young people are more likely to be injured at work than any other age group 
•  1 in 4 feel pressured to work whilst sick
•  21% have been sexually harassed at work

Have any of these things happened to you? click here to find out more.

We believe that the increase in casual employment and apprenticeships and traineeships in the 15-24 age group has resulted in working environments that are highly exploitative, unsafe and discriminatory.  We believe that these working situations are negatively impacting on young people physically and psychologically as well as financially and socially.
