Organizer
Uaw Local 2865
University Of California
Over several years, I worked as a staff organizer in two distinct capacities, at this Local for graduate and undergraduate academic student workers at the University of California. Internal organizer: conducted member-to-member outreach (in person, by telephone, and by email), new member recruitment, organization of ongoing campaigns at the campus, local, and regional levels, coalition building and coordination with other area locals and social-justice organizations, focusing primarily at the level of the UC campus, where I was a participating member of the UC Labor CoalitionExternal organizer (PRO/UAW): identified and recruited members in the formation of the Union for postdoctoral scholars at the University of California. This involved both on-site recruitment and off-site contact through cold calling and home visits.
