New York Organizer - Cambridge, United States - One Fair Wage
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. Given the historic moment, One Fair Wage has launched an ambitious campaign to advance bills and ballot measures in 25 states nationwide to raise wages and end subminimum wages in the US - and through the process, engage millions of unlikely, low-wage worker voters politically. One Fair Wage is thus advancing policy, voter engagement, employer engagement, and culture shift activities to ultimately lift millions of tipped workers out of poverty nationwide and engage them in the political process that governs their lives.
The Opportunity
One Fair Wage is hiring a NY Organizer to conduct worker organizing and mobilization in New York State to support actions to pass legislation to end subminimum wages for tipped workers.
The ideal candidate for this position is strategic, energetic, and innovative, and has experience in worker organizing. The candidate will bring strong organizational, worker relationship management, and planning skills to this role. This is a full-time position, but candidates seeking other types of arrangements are welcome to apply.
