Posted By: Kennedy Williams on March 23, 2021 The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is looking for a POLICY SPECIALIST. The AFL-CIO is a democratic, voluntary federation of 55 national and international labor unions that represent 12.5 million working men and women. They strive to ensure all working people are treated fairly, with decent paychecks and benefits, safe jobs, dignity, and equal opportunities. This organization helps people acquire valuable skills and job-readiness for the 21st-century economy. In fact, they operate the largest training network outside the U.S. military. Anchored in making sure everyone who works for a living has family-supporting wages and benefits and the ability to retire with dignity, AFL-CIO works to advance legislation to create good jobs by investing tax dollars in schools, roads, bridges, ports and airports, and improving the lives of workers through education, job training, and a livable minimum wage.

The person in this position is also responsible for conducting research and analysis on matters related to energy and climate policy, energy employment, the clean energy sector, trade-in clean energy goods, and U.S. manufacturing of energy goods.
