Recruitment and organising new young members are key issues for all unions, and the POA has recently established a Young Members’ Consultative Committee to support young activists as they begin their journeys as POA representatives.
In this episode, recorded immediately following their first meeting. YMCC members Natalie, Declan, Katie and Tyler plus Deputy General Secretary Joe Simpson speak candidly about what motivated them to get active in the POA, what issues are of greatest weight for young members, and, crucially, what does success look like when it comes to the POA’s young members’ strategy?
