Internal Organizer
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info.
Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about SEIU Local 521 founding, mission, etc. That's about the organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. But we have description of organization and mission. Could treat as "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. We need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- Intro: "INTERNAL ORGANIZER SEIU Local 521 was founded in 2007 when 5 local unions came together...". That's about the organization. Could be placed under "About the role"? Might be better as "About the role" describing the job context. We'll include that as About the role.
- Then: "AT SEIU LOCAL 521: Our mission is to provide our members with a voice...". That's also about organization.
- Then: "Internal Organizer will be assigned to work with members in one or more organized jurisdictions in the 521 jurisdictions. SEIU Local 521 represents clerical, blue collar, professional and service workers in the public and private sector, including healthcare." That's about role.
Thus About the role section can contain these paragraphs.
Next: "RESPONSIBILITIES:" then a list of duties. We'll create Responsibilities
with - items.
List items:
- Identify, recruit, train, develop stewards, officers, and leaders.
- Lead and assist in developing plans for worksite campaigns for specific issues including public budget issues, contract negotiations, safety, etc.
- Create or assist members in creating communication systems; write and edit leaflets, proposals, newsletters, etc.
- Negotiate or assist in contract negotiations, from proposals through strike preparation.
- Monitor stewards and officers in their representational duties, including grievances and disciplinary appeals.
- Follow through where necessary.
- Meet timelines and procedures related to labor contracts, union bylaws, and policies.
- Encourage participation in political and lobbying activities.
- Help members hold elected officials accountable.
- Participate in and learn to lead residual organizing campaigns, and recruit members.
- Lead staff members or community-based committees; serve as a spokesperson.
Note: The line "All duties listed are required but not limited to and may or may not be continuously performed or ongoing at any specific time." That's a preamble; we can include as a
before the list.
Next: "Minimum Qualifications" then a list of qualifications. According to headings we have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide where to put each piece.
We have:
Minimum Qualifications:
- Willingness to travel frequently and/or for extended period of time within the local’s jurisdiction, based on work assignments.
- Willingness to work long and irregular hours, often including nights and weekends.
- A strong commitment to social and economic justice and the commitment to organize the unorganized through the labor movement
- At least one year of experience as a full-time external organizer or equivalent community or rank and file member organizing experience.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Good listening skills are a necessity.
- Ability to create and execute detailed organizing plans.
- Ability to establish rapport with and organize workers across diverse ethnic, social, economic, and occupational groups.
- Good judgment and ability to discern priorities when faced with many important tasks.
- Ability to think strategically and respond to rapidly changing situations.
- Basic computer literacy and a willingness to use technology where needed.
- Ability to work effectively and harmoniously as part of a team.
- Bilingual In English/Spanish Preferred But Not Required.
Then "ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:" list:
- Must possess a valid California driver’s license; must pass a DMV check and have a good driving record; must have auto insurance that covers business driving (minimum of $100,000 per person/$300,000 per incident bodily injury liability/$100,000 property coverage); and must possess an automobile for business use.
Thus we have qualifications and additional requirements.
We also have "COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:" with salary range and benefits list.
We need sections: Pay, Benefits, maybe Schedule? No schedule info given. So we should not include Schedule unless present. No schedule.
We have Pay: "Salary commensurate with experience ($86,649.69-$110,620.48)." That's specific numbers, so we can include Pay section.
Benefits: list of benefits: fully employer-paid family health, dental and vision insurance; generous leave package; fully employer-paid defined benefit pension plan; 401(K); flexible savings accounts for annual health and childcare expenses; $200,000 life insurance plan; and other benefits outlined in the policies of SEIU 521.
Thus Benefits section.
We also have "This position is open until filled; however, the posting/acceptance of applications may close at any time." That's application instruction; we should remove.
Affirmative action EEO boilerplate: remove.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications + Additional Requirements), Qualifications? Actually we have both Minimum Qualifications and Additional Requirements; they could be combined under Requirements. Or we could split: Requirements (minimum qualifications) and Qualifications (maybe skills?). But we also have Skills list (communication, listening, etc). The Minimum Qualifications includes many skill-like items. Could treat them as Qualifications. The instruction says we can use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid thin sections. So we need to decide how to map content to these headings without creating thin sections.
We have:
- About the role: organization description and role assignment.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe the mandatory items like willingness to travel, work hours, commitment, experience, driver's license, auto insurance, automobile. Could be considered requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the experience, education, etc. But we have "At least one year of experience as a full-time external organizer..." that's a qualification. Also "Strong written and verbal communication skills." etc. Those could be skills.
- Skills: maybe communication, listening, computer literacy, teamwork, bilingual.
But we risk splitting into many thin sections. Better to combine similar items into broader sections.
We could do:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (includes Minimum Qualifications + Additional Requirements)
- Qualifications (maybe not needed if we put everything in Requirements)
- Skills (maybe not needed)
- Benefits
- Pay
But we need to avoid empty headings. If we don't have content for Qualifications or Skills, we should omit them.
Thus we can have:
About the role
... (intro paragraphs)
Responsibilities
All duties listed are required but not limited to and may or may not be continuously performed or ongoing at any specific time.
...
Requirements
Minimum qualifications:
... (list of minimum qualifications items)
Additional requirements:
... (driver's license, insurance, automobile)
Benefits

Pay
Salary commensurate with experience ($86,649.69‑$110,620.48).
We should not include Schedule.
Check for any other sections: maybe "Qualifications" could be used for the experience and skills, but we already put them in Requirements. That's okay.
We must preserve all substantive information. Ensure we didn't lose any.
Let's extract the exact text for each piece.
Intro paragraphs:
"INTERNAL ORGANIZER SEIU Local 521 was founded in 2007 when 5 local unions came together in the Bay Area, Central Coast and Central Valley to form one larger, more powerful union. Together our members are building a true 21st century union fighting to empower and improve the lives of our members. We represent over 50,000 public service workers in cities, counties, courts, schools, private non-profits, special districts, and public health care. AT SEIU LOCAL 521: Our mission is to provide our members with a voice in the workplace, in their union and in the larger community. Through our actions, we intend to create a more just and humane society. We are committed to protecting and improving the lives of workers and their families. We will work to improve and protect the services we provide to our communities. We believe that by working together as a united front, we can win better contracts and build industry power in our region. Internal Organizer will be assigned to work with members in one or more organized jurisdictions in the 521 jurisdictions. SEIU Local 521 represents clerical, blue collar, professional and service workers in the public and private sector, including healthcare."
We need to preserve that exactly? Probably we can keep as is but maybe remove duplicated "Internal Organizer will be assigned..." It's fine.
Now Responsibilities preamble: "All duties listed are required but not limited to and may or may not be continuously performed or ongoing at any specific time."
Then list items as given.
Now Minimum Qualifications list: we need to capture each bullet.

- Willingness to work long and irregular hours, often including nights and weekends.

- Basic computer literacy and a willingness to use technology where needed.

- fully employer-paid defined benefit pension plan
- 401(K)
- flexible savings accounts for annual health and childcare expenses

- and other benefits outlined in the policies of SEIU 521.
We need to keep the phrase "SEIU Local 521 employees enjoy top notch benefits including fully employer-paid family health, dental and vision insurance; a generous leave package; fully employer-paid defined benefit pension plan;
Responsibilities
with- items.
List items:
- Identify, recruit, train, develop stewards, officers, and leaders.
