Stewards Training Seminars
One of the best ways to make the Guild stronger, improve your workplace and gain confidence in your role as a shop steward is to attend one of our regular stewards trainings. The next workshop will be announced soon. Contact us if you would like to request special training at your location.
All newly appointed stewards should make a point to attend a seminar, and even veterans can benefit from a refresher. Faculty typically include Local staff reps and an attorney experienced in handling our grievances. We go through all the basics of contract enforcement, communication with members, dealing with the boss, legal rights and responsibilities, and Mobilizing 101. Lost time may be available for those who take time off from work to participate. See your Unit officers or contact us at the Guild Office (415-421-6833) if you have questions or want to reserve a spot.
