union members about legal issues. Local 332 provide interns with unique and positive opportunities to increase students’ understanding of workers’ needs as well as promote their entry into the practice of public interest labor law. Specifically, a summer intern will help in a variety of tasks including brief and memo writing, witness and case preparation for cases before the NLRB, federal courts and arbitrations, and assisting the local union in negotiating collective bargaining agreements. The intern will attend legal proceedings, grievance meetings, local union bargaining unit meetings, and collective bargaining negotiations and will participate in any organizing campaigns. During the course of assignments, interns will have direct contact with Local Union staff representatives and officers. Counsel for Local 332 will supervise the intern. The nonprofit corporation was established in memory of Margaret A. Browning, a prominent labor attorney and member of the National Labor Relations Board. President Clinton appointed Peggy to the NLRB in 1994, and she served in that position until her death in February 1997.
