Sheet Metal Workers Local Union No. 19
Philadelphia, PA

Sheet Metal Workers' Local Union No. 19 is a labor union dedicated to protecting the rights of sheet metal workers in the states of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. Local Union No.19 has represented sheet metal workers and others for over 100 years. The legal counsel negotiates and litigates over the terms and conditions set forth in collective bargaining agreements it administers.

The Peggy Browning Fund Summer Intern's assignment will include research and writing, counseling and interacting with Local 19 members about legal issues. Specifically, a summer intern will help in a variety of tasks, including: brief and memo writing; witness and case preparation before the NLRB, Federal Courts and Arbitration; and assisting Local 19 in negotiating collective bargaining agreements.

The intern will attend legal proceedings, grievance meetings, and collective bargaining negotiations and will participate in any organizing drives. During the course of the assignments, the intern will have direct contact with Local 19 staff and officers. Local 19's General Counsel will supervise the intern.
