LEGISLATIVE ACTION TEAM

The North Shore AFL-CIO Federation of Labor is building a team of Legislative & Political Coordinators to engage elected leaders on issues important to working families. LPCs will play an important role in the grassroots advocacy efforts of the North Shore AFL-CIO. We'll provide opportunities for LPCs to cultivate relationships with members of Congress and the Ohio General Assembly. LPCs will be responsible for educating elected leaders and their fellow union members on the issues important to their union and the AFL-CIO.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Keep current on the priorities of their local, state, and national/international union – and the priorities of the AFL-CIO.
• Maintain regular contact with assigned members of the General Assembly and their staff. You’ll be asked to provide information and seek their support on key votes.
• Respond to and promote our Calls to Action.
• Coordinate and inspire advocacy efforts by members within your union.
• Attend workshops and other initiatives to build lobbying skills.
• Attend advocacy events within the district and, when necessary, in Columbus.
• Attend training and workshops that build these skills.
