Advance Shop Steward
This course gives experienced stewards an opportunity to assess their strengths and work on the areas they want to improve. Participants review grievance investigation basics and practice face-to-face communications, including meetings with management. Other topics include self-care, strategies for shop floor mobilization and recruiting new stewards, the duty of fair representation, the rights of temporary employees and OCRE’s, and the STDP.
Social Stewards
This course trains members to be social stewards. Social stewards are resource people who assist co-workers experiencing personal problems. They listen to members, help them identify their concerns and find solutions, and refer them to appropriate resources. This course familiarizes participants with a social steward’s role and responsibilities. Participants will explore ways to approach workplace problems, learn how to support members and how to gather and share information on the resources available to members.
These courses provide an opportunity for union activists to collectively analyze and work on the challenges involved in representing and mobilizing the membership.
The courses provide an opportunity for newer union activists to hone their skills and for long time leaders to reenergize.
