This is an amazing opportunity for an experienced labor representative with organizing experience.  Use all of the lessons from your previous work to help build  the kind of powerful and effective labor organization you have always wanted to see.

The NNOC-MO has recently won new RN bargaining units in St. Louis.     We need a special MIDWEST LABOR REPRESENTATIVE based in St. Louis, Missouri to develop the full potential in the region with one of the most progressive unions in the country.

The National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC) seeks an experienced Labor Representative.  NNOC and the National Nurses United are  leading the national movement for Registered Nurse power to transform the market-driven healthcare industry in the United States into a health care system based on patient need.

We seek an experienced Labor Representative who enjoys developing and working with strong members and who shares our vision of  nurses leading a national movement for health care justice.

This is more than an ordinary union job; we seek a skilled Labor Representative who wants to use their skills strategically.  The ideal candidate would relish the chance to build strong workplace committees, develop local leadership, educate members about alternatives to corporate control of health care, and mobilize members to fight for patient protection.   We are part of the nation's largest organization of direct care RNs with 185,000  current members and rapid membership growth.

The Labor Representative is responsible for all matters related to collective bargaining, including organizing nurses in private and public employment; compiling, analyzing, interpreting and presenting pertinent data; 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.
