Cambridge, United States One Fair Wage Full time

One Fair Wage is an organization seeking to raise wages, enhance 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.

In Massachusetts, One Fair Wage is seeking to advance the One Fair Wage policy as a ballot

initiative in November 2024. To achieve this, MA One Fair Wage is hiring paid canvassers to

collect signatures to put the One Fair Wage initiative on the ballot in November, in support of

reaching our goal of 20,000 signatures. Paid canvassers would report to the signature drive field

manager.

The candidate will be responsible for collecting and reporting legitimate signatures for the One

Fair Wage petition, actively promoting One Fair Wage, and interacting with the public to build

support and understanding for the cause. The role requires excellent communication, resilience,

and a strong understanding of the campaign's goals, ensuring a strong representation and

effectiveness in driving the campaign forward.


Essential Duties and Responsibilities

● Collect signatures: Approach individuals in public places, such as parks, shopping

centers, or events, and explain the purpose and importance of the petition. Encourage

them to sign the petition, ensuring they meet the eligibility criteria and provide accurate

information.

● Understand the issue: Stay informed about the One Fair Wage ballot initiative and

clearly communicate it to the public. Address any questions or concerns they may have

and provide factual information to support the cause.

● Document and organize signatures: Accurately record the details of each signatory,

including their name, address, contact information, and any additional required

information. Ensure that the collected signatures are organized and stored securely.

● Meet targets: Work towards achieving daily and weekly signature collection targets.

Display self-motivation and determination to meet or exceed set goals while maintaining

quality and accuracy in signature collection.

● Petition Submission: Submit collected signatures to city and town clerks before

deadlines, ensuring they are organized and properly formatted according to the

requirements. Collect certified signatures from local clerks to bring to the central OFW

office in Boston.


Required Qualifications

● Reliably commute to collect and submit signatures. The central office is located in

downtown Boston, but the signature collection will be throughout MA.

● Strong ability to connect with people and make pitch to collect signatures and build

rapport quickly.

● Persuasive and ability to engage with people from diverse backgrounds.

● Ability to work independently and in a team environment.

● Ethical and able to adhere to legal guidelines and regulations.

● Physical stamina to stand or walk for extended periods and work in various weather
