About One Fair Wage

One Fair Wage is a national organization working to end all subminimum wages in the United States and raise wages and working conditions across the service sector. We are building a powerful movement of low-wage service workers, employers, and consumers to demand policies and practices that ensure sustainable, dignified work. We fight for a full, livable minimum wage with tips on top, workplace democracy, and racial and gender justice.

Position Summary

One Fair Wage is seeking a passionate, skilled, and dedicated Worker Organizer to join our team in Maryland, specifically focusing on Prince George’s County. This organizer will lead on-the-ground efforts to build a base of service industry workers, with a focus on tipped workers, immigrant workers, youth, and other historically excluded communities. The organizer will work directly with workers in restaurants to build leadership, coordinate local worker meetings, and support workers with winning workplace and policy changes — including ending the subminimum wage and winning living wages for all in Maryland.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct outreach and mobilize tipped and other restaurant workers through workplace visits, street outreach, phone banking, social media, and text campaigns.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with a base of workers, including one-on-one meetings and leadership development conversations.
• Support and train worker leaders to organize their co-workers, tell their stories publicly, and lead campaign actions.
• Plan and execute worker meetings, actions, training, and mobilizations.
• Collaborate with policy, communications, and employer engagement teams to support state and city legislative campaigns.
• Track organizing progress and maintain detailed worker information in our database.
• Represent One Fair Wage in coalition meetings, community events, and media opportunities as needed.
• Stay up to date on MD labor and wage policy issues and contribute in strategy meetings to advance One Fair Wage’s goals in the state and city.

Qualifications

• At least 1–2 years of experience in community, labor, or political organizing —and/or lived experience in low-wage service work with demonstrated leadership.
• Deep commitment to racial, gender, and economic justice and to building worker power.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, especially across lines of race, class, language, and immigration status.
• Experience conducting outreach, one-on-ones, or facilitating group meetings.
• Self-starter with strong time management skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced campaign environment.
• Willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.
• Familiarity with digital tools such as Zoom, Google Workspace, EveryAction, Hustle, and organizing CRMs is a plus.
• Ability to travel across PG County and get to state solidarity actions and meetings in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
• Spanish, Arabic, and/or Chinese fluency is strongly preferred but not required.
