This program works because it is directly linked to employment opportunities in union organizing. Unions and applicants alike are interested in the program because of the job match component. The amount of travel required varies by union and by location within a union. However, most jobs require the organizer to be available to work on the road at times, and in some jobs the organizer will work away from home most of the time. Even when working at home, long days, including regular evening and weekend work, are standard.
Most unions look for flexibility in travel and relocation.
While certainly not for everyone, the rigorous work schedule and extensive travel involved in many organizing jobs is a front-row seat to America. Union organizers go into workers' homes and meet them at their worksites to hear the stories that are the untold history of this country.
