For the last five years, the Saint Paul Union Job and Resource Fair has been connecting job seekers with union employers ready to hire. This year, at a time when those connections are more important than ever, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the job fair to Aug. 20.
But while we wait to gather safely in person, we will begin posting links to immediate job openings from our registered employers, as well as resources available to folks looking to expand their career opportunities, on this “virtual bulletin board.”
This is an evolving list, so check back for updates. And please share this information with anyone you know looking for a job with family-supporting wages and benefits – and the protections of a union contract!
