Young people are being hit hard by thegovernment’s attacks. Over the last year EMA hasbeen scrapped, university tuition fees trebled,youth centres closed up and down the country.The Con-Dems solution to 1 in 5 young peoplebeing unemployed is to cut 750,000 public sector
jobs. The latest unemployment figures, showingthe biggest increase in 2 years, have sent it overthe 2.5million mark, whilst youth unemployment
increased by 78,000 last quarter.
But we won’t be a lost generation. Youth Fight forJobs exists to give a positive direction to the angerand frustration of young people and campaign tomake things change to give young people a reallfuture.
This October we are marching from Jarrow toLondon to recreate the famed ‘Jarrow Crusade’ onits 75th anniversary. We want to link up youngworkers, students, the unemployed, trade unions
and anti-cuts groups to build a mass campaign tobring the Con-Dems and their failed policies down.
From the 5th October until the 13th the march willpass through Yorkshire. Youth Fight for Jobs hasplayed an active role in the fight back against cutswithin the region. Our activists were in theleadership of the occupations at Leeds Uni andLeeds Trinity against the fee rises. We ledwalkouts of school and college students in Halifax,Huddersfield and York against the scrapping of EMA. We’ve supported protests and strikes againstthe cuts in towns and cities across the region.
We fight for decent jobs for all, not just temporaryor part-time jobs that young people can’t live off and have to depend on their parents. We opposeworkfare and poverty wages, trying to use youngpeople’s desperation to find work to undercut thewages and conditions of the existing workforce.We fight for free education and training for all sothat young people can learn the skills and get theeducation they need to develop their full potentialwithout being saddled by huge debts.
When we’re asked how we can afford this then wesay that this crisis wasn’t caused the young peopleor ordinary workers. Whilst our public services,
jobs, education and living standards are cut, thebanks still receive their bonuses, over £100billion isuncollected in taxes from big business and rich.We say they should pay for this crisis that theirsystem has caused.
