The Labor Representative is responsible for all matters related to collective bargaining, organizing nurses in private and public employment around job related issues; compiling, analyzing, interpreting and presenting pertinent data; political education and movement building at the facility level; leadership development; negotiating contracts; processing grievances and conducting arbitrations; and representing nurses in employment-related problems. The ideal candidate has had prior experience as a full time Labor Representative, with demonstrated success at contract negotiations and arbitrations, plus effectiveness in organizing drives, organizing membership participation and developing rank and file leadership. Our members work all shifts and days of the week. Flexibility and regular weekend and after hour work are required. Driver's license and insured car required.
