Organizer Trainee

Service Employees International Union Local 2 is recruiting activists for multiple Organizer Trainee positions across the country.

We are seeking energetic individuals to lead our efforts to organize and empower low wage workers. Experience in the labour movement is not a prerequisite; however candidates should have a proven track record of activism in the social justice movement. Candidates who are fluent in Tigrinya, Amharic, Punjabi, as well as other languages, will be given special consideration.

Candidates will be selected to participate in an initial 30-minute zoom interview. Those that advance will participate in a three-day in-person interview process that will involve classroom instruction and field work on a live organizing campaign (travel and accommodation provided). The in-person interview location is to be determined.

Successful candidates will be offered a one year contract as an Organizer Trainee. Organizer Trainees will have the opportunity to move into permanent unionized positions with SEIU Local 2.

• Nova Scotia
• Ontario (various regions)
• Manitoba
• Alberta
