Job Description

Ohio Petition Circulator/Canvasser

 

One Fair Wage is National 501c3 Non-Profit Organization fighting to raise wages, improve working conditions in the service sector, and end all subminimum wages in the United States. With the Great Resignation, millions of workers are refusing to work for subminimum wages, employers are raising wages to recruit staff, and the political landscape to advance policy to raise wages has changed dramatically. Given the historic moment, One Fair Wage has launched an ambitious campaign to advance bills and ballot measures in 25 states nationwide to raise wages and end subminimum wages in the US - and through the process, engage millions of unlikely, low-wage worker voters politically. One Fair Wage is thus advancing policy, voter engagement, employer engagement, and culture shift activities to ultimately lift millions of tipped workers out of poverty nationwide and engage them in the political process that governs their lives.

 

The Opportunity:

 

One Fair Wage is hiring entry-level and experienced field staff to perform a variety of public-facing functions, including initiative petition circulation, voter registration, and other forms of direct voter contact in support of our ongoing campaign to raise the Ohio minimum wage to $15 an hour and end subminimum wages for tipped workers, workers with disabilities, and youth. 

 

Ohio Petition Circulators will report directly to the Regional Organizing Directors.

 

Ideal candidates for these roles will be passionate, outgoing, and self-directed, with strong communication skills informed by a combination of professional experiences in the food service, hospitality, and/or health care industries. Candidates will have impeccable time management skills and a passion for advocating for restorative economic justice with members of the public.

 

Duties and Responsibilities:

 

  • Circulate Initiative Petitions and Voter Registration forms throughout Ohio 

  • Hit Daily Benchmarks

  • Engage with a combination of community members, leaders, and affected workers to recruit additional paid and volunteer capacity for our organizing department

  • Identify and attend high-volume events

  • Learn and adapt to Ohio’s political climate, developing messaging in real time with supervisory staff to effectively advocate for One Fair Wage’s vision of restorative economic justice

 

Qualifications:

 

  • Comfortability with public speaking, primarily in one-on-one and small-group environments

  • Reliable transportation, or a willingness to use public transit

  • Prior experience as a service industry, low-wage, or tipped worker is preferred, but not required

  • A willingness to observe One Fair Wage’s professional standards

 

Petition circulators may elect to work in either a part-time or full time capacity, up to forty hours per week. This is an at-will, non-exempt, temporary position through December 2023 with a possibly to extend depending on the work needed compensated at a rate of $25/hour, with eligibility for performance-indexed bonuses.

 

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status and will provide reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Former service workers, women, and people of color are encouraged to apply.
