  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement HR initiatives that align with organizational goals and values

  • Direct experience working in union environments—comfortable interpreting CBAs, supporting grievance processes, and partnering with labor representatives
  • Strong knowledge of employment law, HR best practices, and employee relations
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and influence across all levels of the organization
