The young activists of precarious generation have given awards to honour companies like a french bank (called BNP) that have decided to cut back on the cost of workers.

Their claim is simple: trainees musthave a real status as apprentices in the labor law.

For example:• Minimum wage for old

age pension.• Trainees don’t have a

status and they need one.

• Reduction of the difference between training and education.

• Support of the trainees by trade-unions

• A recognition in justice to solve problems between employers and trainees
