It's time to tell John Howard that young people are thinking about him.

• Defend Your Rights

The Young Workers Conference, initiated by Socialist Youth organization, Resistance, and backed by Geelong Trades Hall, under the theme 'Up Yours Howard- Young Workers Fight Back' will tap into the growing sentiment that Howard's laws have the potential to be disastrous for many people in the community, particularly the young and students.
