We are looking for full-time permanent organizer positions. Person by person, workplace by workplace, organizers hear from low income workers what they want changed in their workplace plus in the city, state, and country. Organizers work with workers to hold meetings, do research on key issues, and develop campaign strategies to get these issues addressed. The union organizer's job is to work for the membership of SEIU Local 100, helping them build the power they need to win the things they and families need. Through direct actions, negotiations, working with the media, and, sometimes, by getting involved in electoral politics.
New organizers learn how to conduct an organizing drive and a local campaign.
We train organizers to recruit members, build an organizing committee, turn people out to meetings and events, develop campaign strategy, work with leader, negotiate contracts, write press releases, and much more. The conference addresses the 2000 round of redistricting, and experts from across the nation will be speaking on the subject. We will also be happy to send you a conference schedule. This class explores how perceived gender differences have shaped political thinking in the West from classical antiquity to the present. Obviously we cannot cover this vast topic in a comprehensive way in one semester.
