May is Safe Jobs for Youth Month (SJ4YM)! Many y May is Safe Jobs for Youth Month (SJ4YM)! 

Many young people may still be entering the workforce for the first time during the summer, in jobs where they potentially face new health and safety risks. There is a good chance no one has told them about their job rights and responsibilities, or how to stay safe at work.

Throughout this month, we’re spotlighting activities you and your peers can do to learn about wage theft & union organizing. As well as projects that high school students have done to spread the message of young worker health and safety!

Remember, your safety matters, and knowing your rights is crucial for a secure workplace environment. Join us in advocating for safer workplaces for all young workers!
