We now have 5 members trained as Shop Stewards! We’d like to have as many Stewards as possible, so there is always someone you are comfortable talking with.
Although the Grievance Committee will deal with formal grievances once they are filed (after our Collective Agreement is signed), you have the choice of more Stewards to talk to if you have questions, if something is bothering you, or if you’re not sure if something could be a grievance or not.
If you’re interested in becoming a Shop Steward, you can sign up for online training (CUPE in English, SCFP in French) and let us know!
What is a Shop Steward? Here’s a helpful video (although it is American, it’s a good short explanation).
