Position: Union Organizer, California
Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 10:58AM Build a powerful, democratic labor movement: Work with NUHW.
The National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) seeks talented, hard-working organizers committed to building a powerful and democratic union.
The NUHW is an independent, member-led union, dedicated to improving the lives of healthcare workers and the people we care for. NUHW is building a national movement of caregivers to hold healthcare corporations accountable to the public interest and win affordable, quality healthcare for all. More than 100,000 workers in hospitals, Kaiser Permanente facilities, homecare, and nursing homes have petitioned to join NUHW since January 2009.
Right now healthcare workers in California are battling against an aggressive campaign from a modern-day corporate-style union that is trying to stop them from exercising their free choice to determine their future. We are seeking people committed to building a rank and file militant union in the finest traditions of the labor movement. We are looking for experienced organizers who want to contribute to this historic struggle, as well as new organizers with a deep commitment to building a democratic workers’ union and would like an opportunity to be involved in this historic struggle.
Successful candidates will be values-driven, self-motivated, and resourceful and have experience in social justice organizing. Bilingual skills a plus.
Put your beliefs and skills into action. Apply today and be part of making history!
