STEWARDS
The steward is a representative of the labor union in the workplace. Stewards take on a number of roles: providing leadership in the workplace; organizing co-workers to take collective action; communicating with workers, union leaders and management; and representing members by informing them of their rights. Paramount to the steward's duties is to protect the contract language of the collective bargaining unit. Local 8 stewards are trained to represent employees in all four bargaining units.
Send all requests for union respresentation, questions about your union contract, possible violations of your union rights or contract by supervisors/managers to:
