juntos en accion - together in action - agir ensemble

Maxime Guillet, 21 years, Montreal, Canada
Work: Comedian and delivery man for a fast food restaurant

Conditions at work: Part-time for the restaurant and self-employed as a comedian. My working hours are not sure, my salary is not stable. I always have to be available if I am offered a job as a comedian, otherwise I can rapidly get a negative reputation and no more contracts will be offered to me as I will be considered “difficult”. I need an agent because everything goes through them. So I have additional expenses. If I want a job to get money, I have to spend money before that.

Dream: I have a dream that all young workers have a salary that allows them to have a decent standard of living, without forcing them to have several jobs at the same time.

Why: Because all human beings have a right to dignity and to the development of their skills, which is not possible if they are too exhausted physically and morally.
