Join us for the 2nd Annual Union Job and Resource Fair!
Last spring, local job seekers crowded into the East Side Freedom Library to meet dozens of union employers and resources for the first Union Job and Resource Fair. This year the event returns with a new line-up of employers and resources offering jobs, training opportunities, and helpful information.
Employers will be hiring for union positions in such fields as Construction, Manufacturing, Government, School Building Custodial and Food Service Work, Healthcare, Hospitality and Retail. Union representatives will be on hand to discuss “earn-while-you-learn” high-quality paid vocational training opportunities and answer questions. Information will be available on the advantages of union membership, neighborhood and national union history, and record expungement. The event is designed not only for ready-to-hire job seekers, but for young people exploring how to build their career paths in the future and even people wondering: “What is a union? What do they do?” People who speak many languages will be available to greet and interpret at the event. Positively EVERYONE is welcome to attend.
The event is organized each year by the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation, the Saint Paul Building & Construction Trades, the City of St. Paul, United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1189, and the East Side Freedom Library.
