Stewards:

Stewards are local union members who help members solve problems and organize within the local. A steward’s key role is to be a vital link between the membership and the local’s elected leaders. Some of a steward’s duties include: day to day contact with members, handling and investigating members’ complaints, filing grievances for contract violations, supporting members at grievance hearings and disciplinary meetings, documenting problems in the workplace and informing the executive. If you have a problem at work regarding: harassment; non payment for overtime or shifts; scheduling; training and promotions; health and safety or any other violation of the collective agreement the locals stewards are volunteers with the knowledge and training to help.
