We can’t recommend this enough – Union Summer has long been a door for UW students to find employment in organized labor and related fields. Many UW alums have found long-term opportunities through the program. At the very least, it is a great hands on opportunity in the day-to-day work of building a movement for social justice.<\/p>\n

An email announcement for Union Summer is below, and a flier is attached. Please circulate this to any students you think would be interested. Thank you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
