SEIU Wants “Internal” Organizers

by | Jun 14, 2010 | News

We are always amused at job postings for “internal” union organizers. From the announcement itself: “Responsibilities include identifying, recruiting and mobilizing activists and leaders to support the union’s agenda for addressing large systemic problems that workers encounter in their work place. This is an internal organizing position, not a traditional representational role.” These jobs are to make sure that the people who are already union members stay that way (plus making sure that they do all the other things good union members are supposed to do, like show up for political rallies and the like…). One thing we’ve always wondered. If you just focused on the “traditional representational role” would you really need internal organizers in the first place?
