Transport Salaried Staffs' Association

futureTSSA

futureTSSA is young members organising for young members around young members' issues and campaigns - it was formerly known as Future@.

More than just cannon fodder!

For many employers, young workers represent an opportunity to reduce pay bills and increase profits, as young people are new to the world of work and unsure of their rights, employers gain further opportunities to reduces wage costs and impose working practices that older workers would be unprepared to accept.

At the TSSA Annual Conference in Scarborough, guest speaker Tony said that trade unionists should ask 3 questions:

• What’s going on?
• Why is it happening?
• And what should be done?

As young members of the TSSA working in the transport and travel industries, we know what’s going on! We know why young people are treated like this! We know the answer!

futureTSSA provide the opportunity to organise around youth issues, to improve the understanding and trade union education, to build activism among under 35s.

• Action through self-organisation,
• Equality through unity,
• Support and education,
• Parity with older workers
• Workplace respect;
• Right to strike and support other striking workers,
• Re-nationalisation of the railways and the end of profiteering.
