The Hiring Hall is a LCC membership service that is sent out monthly via email and fax.  (Law students can also access the Hiring Hall on our public access website by going to www.unionvoice.org/lcc.)

Please note that we continue to maintain a Resume Bank on LCC On-Line where we post the resumes, by geographic area, of lawyers who have been referred by an LCC member.  The list of candidates can be accessed at http://lcc.aflcio.org/programs_and_projects/resume_bank/index.cfm.  This membership service is an important resource for law students (and junior lawyers) who may not otherwise have access to information about current union-side hiring opportunities, and for LCC members who are hiring to enable the members to search the collection of resumes from those committed to the labor movement.
 
The Resume Bank is only as effective as you make it!  If you teach in a law school and have students interested in practicing union side-labor law, or if you have recently completed a search and have strong candidates that you did not hire that would like to be included in the LCC Resume Bank, please forward for posting those resumes to Jacqueline Komar at jkomar@aflcio.org.
