Organizing Intern and Organizing Apprentice

UNITE HERE Local 355 is a labor union at the forefront fighting for workers' rights, living wages, and quality jobs in South Florida. At Local 355, we believe that “one job should be enough.” Defying standards in a hospitality industry otherwise dominated by low wages and no job protections, our members win wages and benefits that change lives and transform communities.

Organizing Interns are embedded in worker campaigns and play a crucial role in having strategic conversations and using tools to connect workers. As an organizer intern, you can be part of a team that empowers people in the hospitality industry to achieve better wages and benefits, dignity, and basic rights at work.
