Unions NSW

Union Summer is a program run each year by Unions NSW in conjunction with the ACTU Organising Centre. The program is designed so that young people interested in workers rights and social justice undertake a three (3) week internship in a NSW union. Union Summer will provide you with an experience of what unions do in relation to representing working people in Australian society.

Union Summer will provide you with an experience of what it is like to work for a union as well as providing an opportunity to specialise in one of the following areas of union work:

industrial law; or

organising/campaigning; or

media/communications.

The program runs from Monday 1st February - Friday 19th February 2010 and includes 3 days of training provided by Unions NSW. Successful applicants will be placed in a union and mentored by a union organiser. All successful applicants will be paid during the program.
