union internships

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

From: UNITE HERE <unitehere at vivalasummer.org>

Across North America, hotel workers are rising – organizing to lift one 
another out of poverty. Housekeepers, dishwashers, cooks are standing 
together to win the right to organize a union and improve their lives.
They need you – your energy, your education, your enthusiasm – to join 
them in that fight.
