Organizing Internship

UFCW Local 770

Organizing Internship

Based in Los Angeles, CA

From the Back of the Yards to the retail storefront, the United Food and Commercial Workers has a long history building worker power and transforming lives. With roots in the Amalgamated Meat Cutters, who organized majority-immigrant workforces in slaughterhouses, and the Packinghouse Workers, who fought for civil rights from their inception and helped build a strong interracial labor movement, the UFCW has a rich tradition of organizing the unorganized.

Join us as an Organizing Intern and help make labor history by growing the labor movement and winning rights for workers! We represent workers across many industries, from grocery to pharmacy to cannabis to healthcare. We believe that union organizing isn’t just about wages, benefits, and working conditions. It’s about changing power dynamics and building solidarity. When you organize, you’re creating something bigger than yourself. You’re becoming part of a dynamic, transformative and radical force for justice: the labor movement.

In collaboration with the Inside Organizer School, UFCW 770 is recruiting organizing interns to join a program designed to offer training and work experience to anyone interested in becoming part of the labor movement and organizing their workplace. The internship begins with a classroom component that goes over history, theory, and tactics. New organizers are then placed in the field on active organizing campaigns where they can develop their skills and get a real understanding of organizing work.

The program is run by experienced organizers who emphasize what approaches are truly helping workers win organizing drives today.

We believe that the best way to help workers – and the best way to learn union organizing – is through a focus on inside organizing and building strong worker committees. When you join us as an intern, your commitment to us is to help build the movement in Los Angeles. Our commitment to you is to help train you as an organizer and to work together to build a more just world for the working class.
