SAG-AFTRA · San Francisco, CA · 1 mo ago
Legal$93k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Overview (Who We Are) and Responsibilities, Qualifications, What You’ll Get (benefits). Also maybe Pay (salary range) and Schedule (workweek). We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. The posting includes salary range: $92,841.00 annually. So Pay section. Schedule: "SAG-AFTRA operates on a 35-hour workweek schedule." Also mention hybrid work schedule optional. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: "We are a great place to work because we offer: The salary range ... along with excellent employee benefits. Colleagues ... Balance ... Affordable and comprehensive medical and dental plans Generous pension plan Employee discounts and perks". So Benefits section. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. Also remove "Notice To Applicants" etc. Also remove "Overview Who We Are" maybe we can treat as About the role? Actually "Overview Who We Are" is about the organization, not role. Could be "About the role" but we have no explicit role overview besides responsibilities. Could use "About the role" heading with paragraph summarizing Who We Are? The instruction: Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role with paragraph about SAG-AFTRA and role purpose. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We can include the "Overview Who We Are" as a paragraph under About the role. That's okay. Responsibilities: we have a big block. We need to turn into
    • for list of duties. The responsibilities section includes many sentences; we can break into list items each duty. Must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to capture each duty as list items, but we must not lose any detail. Could combine multiple duties into one list item if they are part of same sentence? Better to split by semicolons or sentences. But we must not lose detail. We'll produce list items each representing a duty as described. Qualifications: we have Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (list) and Minimum Qualifications (education/experience, certificates). Also maybe "What You’ll Need" heading. We'll create a Qualifications section with sub-sections? But only allowed headings are those listed; we can have Qualifications heading and inside use
      • for list items. Could separate into two lists: one for Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, another for Minimum Qualifications. But we must not create extra headings not allowed. Could combine into one list but that may be messy. Better to have two
          under same heading; that's fine. Benefits: we have list: Colleagues that are passionate..., Balance between work and home life responsibilities, Affordable and comprehensive medical and dental plans, Generous pension plan, Employee discounts and perks. Also "excellent employee benefits" already mentioned. We'll list those. Pay: salary range $92,841.00 annually. Schedule: 35-hour workweek schedule, plus hybrid optional (minimum 2-4 days in-office). We'll include that. We must not include boilerplate like "Notice To Applicants", EEO, etc. Also remove "We cannot offer sponsorship..." etc. Also remove "As part of the selection process..." etc. Also remove "If you are a qualified individual with a disability..." etc. Also remove "SAG-AFTRA reserves the right to change..." etc. Also remove "Employees are required to work in the state/location indicated..." etc. Also remove "To be eligible for employment..." etc. Also remove "We are a great place to work because we offer:" maybe keep as intro to benefits but not as heading. We'll keep benefits list. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive information from responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, pay, schedule. Let's extract responsibilities bullet points: From text: - Serve as lead or support negotiations with employers in the San Francisco - Northern California Local and may be asked to provide CBA administrative support to other locals engaged in bargaining or other disputes. - Work in conjunction with the San Francisco - Northern California executive director on all broadcast matters arising out of SF-NC’s collective bargaining agreements. - Provide consultation for personal service contracts. - Work in alignment with national strategy on issues such as minimum contractual standards. - Responsible for coordinating with the San Francisco - Northern California executive director with respect to all representational and associated legal work before the NLRB. - Prepare legal opinions and documents that interpret applicable laws, rulings (arbitration and other), the SAG-AFTRA constitution and contracts, and various regulations related to applicable laws, in relation to News & Broadcast matters and as assigned. - Conduct legal and factual research. - Manage and collaborate in the handling of arbitration matters (both simple and complex), concerning News & Broadcast-related grievances. - Manage and assist in the representation of SAG-AFTRA in state and federal court as well as administrative proceedings, regarding litigation brought by or against SAG-AFTRA, with respect to News & Broadcast issues. - Cultivate and maintain strong relationships with various stakeholders; e.g., SAG-AFTRA members and staff, member representatives, news and sports directors, station managers, program directors, producers, entertainment unions and other organizations. - Participate in labor management committee meetings, member outreach, internal/external organizing efforts for broadcast stations in the same geographical area. - Perform other duties as assigned, or as the situation dictates. Also earlier paragraph: "Under the direction of the Executive Director, San Francisco - Northern California Local, the Broadcast Labor Counsel will represent the interests of SAG-AFTRA and its members by the enforcement of the News and Broadcast collective bargaining agreements and shall be responsible for all matters related to SAG-AFTRA’s broadcast jurisdiction including but not limited to serving as lead negotiator, managing grievances and arbitration and representing SAG-AFTRA in matters before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). This position also includes participating in labor management committee meetings, member outreach, internal/external organizing efforts for broadcast stations in the same geographical area, and may assist in broadcast representation in other regions on an as needed basis." This is somewhat overlapping with list items; we need to preserve all info, not duplicate. We can incorporate that as list items too, but ensure not duplicate. We'll combine.

Participate in labor management committee meetings, member outreach, internal/external organizing efforts for broadcast stations in the same geographical area. (duplicate of 5-7? but we can keep as separate? Might be duplicate; we should avoid duplication. We already have those items. So we can skip this duplicate.) 20. Perform other duties as assigned, or as the situation dictates. We need to ensure we didn't lose any detail like "under the direction of the Executive Director".
