The Association of Legal Advocates and Attorneys - UAW Local 2325 is seeking an Organizer to join our team. Every day, our members fight for justice for low-income New Yorkers, and for themselves to have equitable pay, benefits, and safer working conditions. ALAA combines organizing, legislative, and legal advocacy to effectively represent 3,500 public interest attorneys and staff across the New York City metro area. We are seeking someone with collective bargaining and organizing experience who shares our vision for empowering workers in a strong labor movement.

The ideal candidate is able to take initiative and advocate for the needs of membership in coordinated contract campaigns and new organizing drives. This position is responsible for supporting bargaining committees and organizing committees as they identify membership’s key demands, drafting strong contract language and counter proposals, leading negotiations and building a strong, member-led contract campaign. Each bargaining unit is different, but this position requires someone who can effectively represent members, as well as also identify and develop leadership within the union.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Serve as lead negotiator bargaining first contracts for newly organized units as well as successor agreements.
  • Work with and lead elected bargaining committees to develop and draft demands, contract language, initial proposals, and counter-proposals.
  • Organize membership mobilizations and develop a campaign strategy to win strong contracts.
  • Conduct new organizing drives and lead card-check campaigns and NLRB elections.
  • Develop and conduct trainings for union delegates and bargaining committee representatives.
  • Leadership development and organizing of membership and bargaining committees.
  • Represent members in grievance meetings and disciplinary proceedings.
  • Support local leadership in decision-making processes, strategy, and contract enforcement.

Experience Required: 

  • Significant collective bargaining experience as a negotiator.
  • Significant experience negotiating first contracts preferred.
  • Significant experience organizing membership mobilizations.
  • Significant experience filing grievances and representing members in contract enforcement.
  • Strong meeting facilitation skills.
  • Evening work and irregular hours required.
  • Commitment to social justice and labor empowerment.
  • Commitment to low-income communities and criminal and social justice issues.

Other Requirements:

  • Travel in all 5 boroughs of NYC, occasional travel to other areas in New York State, infrequent out-of-state travel.
  • Familiarity and comfort with diverse messaging apps: whatsapp, signal, slack, etc.
  • A small number of our members are monolingual Spanish speakers, so proficiency in Spanish is helpful, but not required.

This position has in-person requirements. People from underrepresented backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

UAW members are strongly encouraged to apply. Please note that loan payments made while working for a labor union do not qualify for PSLF.

Salary: $86,320 – $103,714, depending on experience, with annual step increase.

Benefits:

  • Retirement - 7% employer 401(k) annual contribution after 1 year of service.
  • Travel - Unlimited Monthly Metrocard.
  • Health Insurance - 0% premium, $0 deductible plan including dental and vision + $500 Employer FSA Contribution.
  • Paid Time Off - 4+ weeks of vacation, 3 personal days, and 14 holidays per year.
