RMT young members to launch Apprentice Charter aimed at improving standards across Britain

THE RMT Young Members conference will launch the transport union’s Apprentice Charter aimed at improving wages, working conditions and training standards for transport apprentices across Britain tomorrow.

The charter lays out demands to ensure apprenticeships are no longer treated as low-paid, insecure and substandard roles.

RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said: “Apprenticeships should be a gateway to highly skilled, secure jobs, but instead, too many young workers are trapped in low pay, poor training and dead-end contracts.
