We’re getting more stories back from the thousands of you who went on the March for Jobs over the weekend.
This is what Jane told us: “My motivation for joining the march was to pave the way for future generations who deserve the opportunity to work and provide for themselves and their families. For many years I have been involved in recruiting and training apprentices. I am saddened as so many are losing places due to ‘lay offs’ and redundancy. This is demoralising for so many young people who are keen to learn and succeed in their chosen occupations.”

That’s why Unite is organising a special debate for young people following the March for Jobs on Saturday, to give young workers the chance to speak out.
