What is a ‘Steward’?

Stewards are the first ‘point-of-contact’ for unit members who have questions about the union or potential grievances.

Stewards are expected to join a working group, work on Contract Enforcement issues in their area, and make an effort to engage in organizing efforts. (See Article 9 or our Bylaws for full description of Steward duties)

Each Steward position serves an ‘area’ with one Steward per ~30 bargaining unit members. The Stewards for each are elected by the dues-paying members of that area.
