Many young people working in social and cultural jobs experience
casualised or precarious labour conditions, where short-term flexible,
part-time contracts are often accompanied by a sense of insecurity.
Official trade unions have often disregarded this question and an
array of new forms of activism has emerged to fill the void.
Among the experience of labour activism which have emerged in this
sector, an important role has been played by the Euromayaday parade,
which reclaims the 1st of May as a celebration of workers' struggle
rather than a tired ritual.
