Members shared with each other the struggles of their industries and helped the next generation to grow while having fun at the same time! This is just the start on the journey of building and growing the youth movement in the west. Watch this space and consider coming along to up- coming future youth events and meetings. Special thanks to: MUA WA Branch Kyle McGinn MLC For supporting youth members and their event.
The MUA WA Youth are starting to learn the power they hold and are developing their skills around campaigning. The target of their first campaign was to support our Queensland bro- thers and sisters in solidarity in their struggle to achieve liveable wages and conditions in the tou- rism industry.
WA Youth committee members were given an opportunity to travel to India and attend an ITF Youth conference. This conference allowed the young members to broaden their understanding of issues facing the union movement both locally and internationally. Julian Uchiyama-Lee (CBH) and Adam Shoeib (QUBE) both attended for WA and from all reports had an exceptional experience. These conferences are experiences of a lifetime. They will take these experiences and learnings back home with them to strengthen both their worksite, the youth move- ment and union as a whole.
