Conference to discuss young workers
IMPACT’s youth committee is to host a lunchtime discussion entitled Young Workers in 2014: The Issues at IMPACT’s biennial delegate conference next week. The hour-long event takes place in the ballroom of the INEC conference venue at 1pm on Thursday 15th May. Open to all delegates attending the conference, the event will be chaired by IMPACT president Kevin O’Malley and speakers will include Laura Harmon of the Union of Students of Ireland, Shane Lambert of the IMPACT youth committee, and David Gibney of the ICTU youth committee. IMPACT organiser Linda Kelly explained that unemployment, under-employment and precarious employment remain huge issues for young people, despite the departure of the troika. “Youth unemployment stands at 27% in Ireland and is over 40% in Greece, Spain, Croatia and Portugal,” she said. A light lunch will be served at the event.
