Organizer #ORG#

HTC Organizers may work with either our Internal or External Organizing Departments. Internal organizers work directly with the existing union membership. Each day as an HTC organizer is exciting, challenging, and incredibly dynamic. Organizers will communicate with and mobilize hotel and gaming workers. You will also educate members about important issues facing our Union.

Organizers are involved in political mobilization and turning out members for union events such as rallies, protests, political events, bill signings, and more. You will be part of a dedicated, smart, and resourceful team designed to be able to mobilize members for large-scale action.

Organizers who distinguish themselves may be assigned to work on external organizing drives. HTC external organizers are the best of the best, and they work on highly secretive and strategic campaigns to bring non-union workers into our Union.

Organizers have the most important job on the Union’s staff because the are the ones who build and grow the bargaining power and solidarity of our Union and, thus, the labor movement. Applicants for this job need guts, passion and the will to succeed. Successful organizers can expect accelerated promotion to high leadership positions.
