· Compiling, analyzing and summarizing industry data, and reporting findings to leadership.

· Gathering information through desk research, both qualitative and quantitative – relating to contract negotiations, and current wages within specific industries.

· The successful candidates will work independently and with other researchers to create complicated queries on retail regulatory changes, uncover new trends and anomalies, model impacts of policy or regulatory change, or provide quick responses related to information needs and/or union campaigns.

· Highly collaborative, with strong interpersonal skills

· A good communicator.

· A successful applicant must be able to make sense of, and provide analysis related to, data throughout a range of professions. Research may also include policy pertaining to all levels of government or industry as they relate to the members of Local 401.

· Demonstrated commitment to labour values

· Understanding and commitment to broader economic and social justice issues
