STEWARD TRAINING - Prerequisite for Arbitration Seminar
 

Shop Stewards are the first line of defense against the Company. As a Shop Steward, you play a vital role in protecting the rights of your union brothers and sisters in your shop. Your job is essential to protecting the integrity of the collective bargaining agreement. In your capacity as a Shop Steward, you take on many roles. You are a leader, an enforcer of rights, an educator, and a role model for other workers, just to name a few.

The goal of this course is for students to leave feeling empowered and armed with the skills and knowledge necessary to take on the Company and win. You will learn the basic duties of a Shop Steward, the rights and responsibilities of a Shop Steward, how to deal directly with management, how to protect yourself and your union, how to identify a grievance, how to investigate a grievance, and how to file a grievance and WIN. You will also learn about other ways to fight back and win outside of traditional Grievance and Arbitration procedures.
