UNITE HERE Local 274 is the union that welcomes you to Philadelphia, representing 4,000 private sector hotel and food service workers who work at the stadiums, airports, and hotels throughout the Philadelphia region. We serve the food, hold the door, carry the bags, clean the rooms, and wash the laundry. Our membership is diverse. We are predominantly women and people of color, and we hail from all corners of the planet. We’re fighting to end poverty-creating jobs and to ensure that Black, Brown, and immigrant workers aren’t left out of Philadelphia’s economy.
This apprenticeship will train you on basic and advanced organizing skills through shadowing and close work with a Lead Organizer or Organizing Director. You will learn to organize people to stand up for their rights and build worker-led committees to take on multinational corporations. Your work will include leadership identification, recruiting workers to the committee, and mobilizing members to participate in pickets, strikes, civil disobedience and other actions.
