Petition Text
We want for every young person to be able to build a future. For us, every action to bring down unemployment has to be accompanied by a global reaction on the world of work involving every one of us.
At the YCW, we chose to name ourselves “those who are deprived of work” as we consider that we are deprived of a fundamental right: the access to dignified employment.
Why is this important?
We, young people, are facing the most trouble entering the world of work. Youth unemployment is close to 23% throughout the country, but for our friends in working-class areas, unemployment reaches 45% (INSEE, 2012).
And once we reach our Holy Grail: the much-touted contract that opens up the world of work, we often face instability and precariousness. Too often our first steps in the world of work are marked by a daily struggle for survival, leaving us no possibility to bring our life plans to reality.
For us YCW members, work is a source of fulfilment, stability and protection against the struggles of life.We want work to allow us to build our life plans (starting a family, building a personal and/or professional project, etc...). We develop real values as we work: the love of a job well done and a sense of teamwork.
