Documentary focuses on unions and young workers

'How they can become the new leadership, incorporating their hopes and concerns.'

Regina (19 Feb. 2010) - A new documentary is being circulated within the labour movement focusing on the needs and the future of young workers.

"This video shows not only why young workers want to be unionized, but also the challenges of involving young workers in the labour movement and how they can become the new leadership, incorporating their hopes and concerns," says the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees' Union (SGEU/NUPGE).
