Memo From CSEA HQ re Need for Grievance Training if Shop Stewarts are to Represent Members During a Potential Section 75 Questioning or Meeting

Directions to the CSEA Local 860 Office    

Our Union stays strong when members get involved in their workplace to monitor the contract, uphold workers’ rights and unite co-workers together around important issues. Shop Stewards play an important role. 
Shop Stewards are Organizers who help mobilize members into action, encourage co-workers to come to meetings, and introduce themselves to new members. 
Stewards are Educators who explain to members the importance of working union and how to make the Union Contract work for you. Education is a two way process. Stewards learn from the members about the issues happening in the workplace. 
Stewards are Leaders and Communicators who keep the members informed about what happens at union meetings, community actions and other union activities. Stewards set examples for workplace fairness. 
Stewards are Advocates who participate in Grievance Training and then are able to represent members at grievances and ensure just cause is met for disciplinary actions. Members rely on Grievance Trained Stewards to represent their needs and concerns. 
If you are aware, active, passionate about what is right, and able to see through certain transparent management explanations, you should consider becoming a Union Shop Steward.

Weingarten Rights 
(the right to union representation when being questioned)

More Shop Stewards are always needed.  

   Meeting Schedule
Our Monthly Union Meetings are usually the 1st Tuesday each month. 
The meetings are open to ALL CSEA Union 9200 members so be there !

We had overflow attendance at recent meetings! Please call or email the union office each month to indicate you are attending to insure we order enough light dinner.

Bring A New Member: At a recent meeting, it was agreed that every current Unit 9200 Union Shop Stewart and Activist who attends our meetings should strive to bring another CSEA member to the monthly meetings. 
Talk to a prospective activist (a co-worker who is concerned about a work issue or about other workers) "one on one" and urge them to attend the next monthly Member Meeting. Your Member Meetings are usually the First Tuesday of each month at the CSEA Local 860 Office. Light dinner is at 5:30 PM; the Meeting convenes 6 PM and is usually adjourned before 7 PM depending on issues to be discussed.
