What is a union?

A union is an organized group of workers who come together to collectively negotiate with employers over wages, benefits, working conditions, and other employment-related matters. Unions represent their members in discussions with management to secure better terms and protect workers' rights. By joining together, workers can increase their bargaining power and have a stronger voice in the workplace.

What is a union job?

A union job can refer to two separate types of jobs. One is jobs that support the structure of the union, such as research, organizing, and administration. The other is any job that is represented by a union. If you work for a union, you generally provide support and resources to your union members, such as helping to negotiate collective bargaining agreements with the management of a specific employer. If you work in a union, your duties and responsibilities are contingent on the type of work you do.

What are some common challenges faced by union representatives in balancing member advocacy with employer negotiations?

Union representatives often navigate the challenge of effectively advocating for members’ interests while maintaining constructive relationships with employers. Striking a balance between assertively addressing member concerns—such as fair wages, workplace safety, and job security—and fostering open, solution-oriented dialogue with management is essential. Representatives must also ensure transparent communication with union members, manage expectations, and stay updated on labor laws and contracts. These tasks require strong negotiation, conflict resolution, and interpersonal skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a union representative, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Union Representative, you need a strong understanding of labor laws, collective bargaining processes, and negotiation techniques, often backed by relevant experience or training in labor relations. Familiarity with grievance management systems, contract databases, and legal research tools is typically required. Outstanding communication, conflict resolution, and advocacy skills help a representative effectively support members and foster positive relationships. These skills ensure the Union can protect workers' rights, negotiate fair agreements, and address workplace issues efficiently.

Job description

SEIU Union Organizer-In Training, East Coast
We are seeking energetic and passionate individuals interested in starting social justice careers in labor organizing.
For 100 years, SEIU has been helping workers stand up for their rights, fighting for dignity, respect and better conditions in workplaces and communities. With a membership 2.1 million strong, SEIU is the fastest-growing union in the United States, and our diverse leaders and staff support workers as they speak out for good jobs and better lives for themselves and their families.
The SEIU Organizer-in-Training (OIT) Program is a 12-month training program. As an Organizer-in-Training with the SEIU, you will be assigned to organizing campaigns, trained on the fundamentals of union organizing, and will have the opportunity to learn the skills needed to help workers build power in the workplace.
The OIT program trains labor organizers to assist and empower non-union workers to join unions and is different from other training programs that focus on developing political, electoral or community organizing skills.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Conducting broad and intensive outreach efforts to non-union workers.
  • Building one-on-one relationships with workers.
  • Identifying, recruiting and developing worker leaders
  • Conducting individual and group meetings with workers to move organizing campaigns forward.
  • Engaging, motivating and mobilizing workers to take action.
  • Planning and carrying out actions and events to support worker organizing efforts.

Required Qualifications:
  • Demonstrated commitment to social and economic justice.
  • Ability and willingness to work long and irregular hours, including nights and weekends.
  • Ability to spend the majority of the work week out of the office doing work site visits, home visits, canvassing on foot, attending worker strikes and meetings, rallies and other union activities.
  • Excellent listening, oral and written communication skills.
  • Multilingual skills are a plus but not required.
  • Basic computer literacy and ability to learn the organization's technology tools.
  • Ability to work independently as well as with a team.
  • Willingness to conduct work site and home visits.
  • Strong planning, time-management and problem-solving skills.
  • Possession of a valid U.S. driver's license, proof of auto insurance and an automobile for business use.
  • Ability and willingness to travel extensively as needed. If offered an OIT position, you will be required to travel to the campaign you are assigned to. Campaigns can be based on the East Coastt or can be a national campaign located outside the East Coast region.

Compensation:
  • Salary and benefits are set by a collective bargaining agreement. Salary is $56,000/annual and benefits include fully employer-paid health benefits package, work cell phone, and other benefits outlined in the policies of SEIU and the staff union contract. This is a full-time, salaried position.

Application Requirements:
A resume and cover letter are required for all applications. Your cover letter should explain your reason for wanting to work for SEIU, an example of how you demonstrated success in a similar position, and a description of how this position fits into your long-term career plan.
