Are you a young worker wanting to connect, get inspired, and make a difference? Do you want to find your place in our union, meet like-minded people, and help shape the future of our labour movement?
Next Generation is where it starts.
Next Gen is a program built for young members, by young members. It’s about more than just meetings and motions. It’s about building your voice, your confidence, and your community through mentorship, leadership development, activism, and fun. Whether you’re passionate about social justice, employment rights, workplace improvements, or just want to understand how your union works, Next Gen is your space to learn, grow, and lead.
The United Steelworkers is North America’s largest industrial union, representing over 225,000 members in Canada and more than 625,000 around the world. We are active in every sector of the economy you can imagine: education, health care, telecommunications, mining, forestry, manufacturing and more. Next Gen is our way of ensuring that this proud legacy is not only preserved, but flourishes. We honour the struggles of those who came before us, we fight for justice here and now, and we’re building something stronger for the future. Next Gen is how we stay vibrant, relevant, and powerful for the next generation of workers. That includes you.
If you are under 35 and ready to get involved, learn more, and make connections, this is your invitation. Come join a community of young workers making change happen. We are active on the job, in the union, in our community, and around the world.
Your future doesn’t start later. It starts now. Join Next Gen.
