Stewards

Stewards are trained volunteers located in each workplace that help make sure that our employers honor their contracts with us, and treat our members fairly.  We are always on the lookout for more stewards, so contact the Local's office if you're interested in finding out more about how you can become a Steward.

Below is a list of our current stewards.  Feel free to reach out to any one of them that is in your Unit with any workplace concerns or issues.  We noted in parenthesis the steward who is the Unit Chair for that worksite.
