The Youth Council of the SUR is waiting for new faces

On April 21, the first meeting of the Youth Council of the Seafarers Union of Russia (YC SUR) was held. In fact, this meeting marked the beginning of work within the framework of the youth policy of the SUR. During the meeting the plans, the involvement of cadets and young seafarers under the age of 35 in their implementation, and organizational issues were discussed. Recall that the decision to create the Council was made on November 26, 2019 in order to attract young people to the SUR both as employees and activists, as well as to form the trade union cells in marine educational institutions. It is natural that one of the first events was decided to be held at the State Maritime University named after F. F. Ushakov in Novorossiysk, where the “Job Fairs" for cadets will be held on May 21. This is a well-known event in Novorossiysk where potential employers talk about their fleet, the number of jobs and answer questions. The participants of the Youth Council came to a consensus that this is a great launching pad for the presentation of the SUR. In addition, the issue of holding a competition among cadets and young seafarers in cooperation with maritime educational institutions was considered. The working title of the project is «Profession through the eyes of a young seafarer», but the discussion, including the conditions for its implementation, continues. The chairman of the SUR primary trade union organization of seafarers of Sevastopol, the coordinator of the YC SUR, Artem Boev noted that now the Council has representatives of trade union organizations from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novorossiysk, Vladivostok and Nakhodka. «The Youth Council has brought together energetic and purposeful union members who are ready to think boldly and act confidently.
