Zombie Deputy Communications Director is like: SEE YA!

Maybe making calls to the press, only to get slammed in every article finally got to her...

Or maybe it was working with over worked, under trained, probably very unhappy staff...

Or maybe it was the leadership, or lack thereof at the local...

Either way, former Unite Here Communications Director, current UHW Deputy Communications Director, Amanda Cooper has quit UHW and gone out on her own...

According to her LinkedIn profile "Amanda Cooper for hire! After 15 years of in-house strategic communications and media relations work I have branched out on my own, ready to take on new challenges. I am lucky to be collaborating with an incredible group of strategists and tacticians at LightBox Collaborative so I can take on projects big and small. "

So, from Communications Director at a major International Union (Unite Here) to Communications Director at a fledgling part of another union (Workers United) to DEPUTY Communications Director at a local in turmoil, to a contractor...

Either she gets really bad career advice or, as a reader suggests, she is a smart lady who can see the writing on the wall--and is getting out of Zombie land, while the getting is good.

Looks like Trossman is gonna be busy!
