I recently received a job announcement from Gideon Strauss, who works with the Christian Labour Association of Canada, and I thought I’d pass this information on in case anyone was interested. The CLAC is looking for a Solidarity Organizer. Gideon writes:
This is basically a position for someone who will be able to promote a Christian social vision and a vocational understanding of work in the broad Christian community in Ontario, and who will be able to generate support for CLAC?s international projects among all of CLAC?s members. The CLAC is a Christian trade union with about 30,000 members, operating in most provinces of Canada. If you know of anyone who may be interested in this position, please urge them to forward a letter of application and a current CV to me by no later than the end of July, 2005.
