Marilyn Sneiderman is an Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University School of Law. From 1996 – 2005, Sneiderman directed the Department of Field Mobilization for the AFL-CIO. There, she directed a staff of 150 national representatives and 350 community liaisons, and played a central role in launching the Unions Cities program, a national campaign to unite union members, non-union workers, community, religious, and civil rights groups to win decent jobs, better schools, a voice at work, and social and economic justice in 60 communities. She and her department helped organize major national mobilizations, including demonstrations and civil disobedience by union members and environmental and other activists designed to challenge the increasing power of global corporations at the WTO in Seattle, and helped mobilize hundreds of thousands of workers, immigrants, and civil and human rights activists to support the Immigrant Worker Freedom Ride.
Previously, as Director of Education for the Teamsters Union and a faculty member at the George Meany Center for Labor Studies, Sneiderman led leadership development, education, and training programs for thousands of union members in organizing, bargaining, political activism, civil and women’s rights, and community campaigns.
Sneiderman graduated with distinction with a Masters in Science in Social Work with concentrations in Community Organizing and Women’s Studies from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She also co-published an Organizing Guide for Local Unions, which has well over 100,000 copies in circulation. In January 2000, Working Mother Magazine named Sneiderman one of the twenty-five most influential working mothers in the United States.
