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. They sit in on discipline meetings, where they serve as a wittness and advocate for our members. 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've listed each stewards job title, but please note that you can use any steward in your contract - they don't have to be from your department or job title. If you don't know any of these stewards, or know how to get a hold of them, feel free to reach out to our office at (218) 724-5223 or usw9460 [at] gmail [dot] com.
