Fwd: New York Union Semester internship opportunity

[Nick Wertsch]

Hey - wanted to pass along this opportunity to basically study abroad in NYC, get paid, get some college credits, and work in the labor movement. It seems pretty awesome, met the coordinator for the program at a conference a few weeks back. Reach out if you've got questions about it, and please feel free to pass along to others who might be interested.
