    Description

    One Fair Wage is an organization seeking to raise wages, enhance working conditions in the

    service sector, and end all subminimum wages in the United States. With the Great Resignation,

    millions of workers are refusing to work for subminimum wages, employers are raising wages to

    recruit staff, and the political landscape to advance policy to raise wages has changed

    dramatically.

    In Massachusetts, One Fair Wage is seeking to advance the One Fair Wage policy as a ballot

    initiative in November 2024. To achieve this, MA One Fair Wage is hiring paid canvassers to

    collect signatures to put the One Fair Wage initiative on the ballot in November, in support of

    reaching our goal of 20,000 signatures. Paid canvassers would report to the signature drive field

    manager.

    The candidate will be responsible for collecting and reporting legitimate signatures for the One

    Fair Wage petition, actively promoting One Fair Wage, and interacting with the public to build

    support and understanding for the cause. The role requires excellent communication, resilience,

    and a strong understanding of the campaign's goals, ensuring a strong representation and

    clearly communicate it to the public. Address any questions or concerns they may have

    and provide factual information to support the cause.

    ● Document and organize signatures: Accurately record the details of each signatory,

    including their name, address, contact information, and any additional required

    information. Ensure that the collected signatures are organized and stored securely.

    ● Meet targets: Work towards achieving daily and weekly signature collection targets.

    Display self-motivation and determination to meet or exceed set goals while maintaining

    quality and accuracy in signature collection.

    ● Petition Submission: Submit collected signatures to city and town clerks before

    deadlines, ensuring they are organized and properly formatted according to the

    requirements. Collect certified signatures from local clerks to bring to the central OFW

    office in Boston.
