Why Youth Workers Need to Collectively Organise
Corney, Tim; Broadbent, Robyn; Darmanin, Lisa
Youth Studies Australia, v28 n3 p41-46 Sep 2009
Recent attempts at professionalising the youth sector have focused on "codes of ethics" and left pay and conditions issues to community sector unions. The authors suggest that the history of nursing in Victoria provides a case example of the benefits of combining professional aspirations with industrial organisation.
