Hey all--Anyone know anything about worker centers? Places like Restaurant Opportunities Center, Jobs with Justice, etc. I'm struggling to find info on how these places pay, reviews of what it's like to work for one (though this obviously differs from place to place), hiring practices, etc. I know they're part of larger organizations like ENLACE and InterFaith Worker Justice (apart from being supported by labor unions).
Anon b/c I've applied to a few of these places and I don't want to out myself with other info.

Re: Being a Lawyer for a Worker Center?
I smell Scientology, also communism, black lists, and other things that don't pay well. But, you know, justice in America, and that's noble. Did you go to law school to be noble? Yes? Well you've found your outlet. Ignore the irony that to advocate for those causes as a lawyer you already need to be rich and / or have no debt. Your cause is just, and I say this in seriousness--if I could afford it, I'd be right there with you. The Scientology thing was a joke. Last thought - other applicants might be crazy over qualified and just as committed and from wealthy backgrounds so they don't need the money but will use the experience. So, liberals, amiright?

You can get a window into working at one of these organizations (or at a traditional labor union) by applying for a summer Peggy Browning Fellowship at one. https://www.peggybrowningfund.org/fello ... -positions
