MEMBER STRENGTH ORGANIZER

Vacancy Announcement – Member Strength Organizer

SEIU, Local 500 is a progressive labor union, organizing and representing over 16,000 workers in the public service in Maryland and Washington, DC. We are a proud affiliate of Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the fastest growing union in North America. We have an immediate opening for a Member Strength Organizer. Member Strength Organizers are responsible for building our organization internally. Responsibilities include identifying, recruiting, training, mentoring and mobilizing activists and leaders to support the union's agenda for addressing large systemic problems that workers encounter in their work place.

This is an internal organizing position, not a traditional representational role. This position requires good organizing and communication skills, an ability to write well, and a willingness to work long, often irregular hours. Previous experience with another labor union or nonprofit organization as an organizer is preferred. We offer an excellent starting salary and fringe benefit package. If you currently live in the greater Washington DC area, or plan to move here in the very near future and are interested in working with us, then we'd love to hear from you.
