The Washington State Labor Council, AFL-CIO has a great upcoming opportunity for students interested in working with the labor movement. Please provide this information to your students as soon as possible. Thank you!
Union Summer is a seven week, fully paid internship in the Seattle area that provides experiences in the daily work of labor unions, from member engagement to political campaigns, as well educational days focused on labor history and other topics. The program runs from June 20-August 7, 2021, and the deadline to apply is Friday, May 7.
We can't recommend this enough - Union Summer has long been a door for UW students to find employment in organized labor and related fields. Many UW alums have found long-term opportunities through the program. At the very least, it is a great hands on opportunity in the day-to-day work of building a movement for social justice.
An email announcement for Union Summer is below, and a flier is attached. Please circulate this to any students you think would be interested. Thank you!
