Change to Win seeks a Communications Coordinator to work on a joint initiative with the Laborers International Union of North America (LiUNA!) to build a high-road residential energy efficiency industry that creates family-supporting jobs and career opportunities for residents of low-income communities.

Change to Win is a dynamic coalition of five of North America's most progressive labor unions and a leading force for social, racial and economic justice in our country.  The nearly six million members of Change to Win unions have united to renew hope, opportunity and prosperity for American workers and their families.  Change to Win is devoted to building a movement of working people with the power to restore the American Dream—a paycheck that can support a family, affordable health care, a secure retirement, and dignity at work.

Change to Win is currently recruiting experienced field operatives, research analysts, and communications and business development professionals to support groundbreaking campaigns to organize workers in emerging green industries and help realize President Obama’s vision of a clean energy economy that works for everyone.
