A Shop Steward Knows: Do you feel that your rights as
an employee are sometimes being short-changed? Have you ever had
to deal with a situation in your workplace where your felt powerless
when asked to do something you felt was not correct?
Do you know
your unionized contract rights and responsibilities?
Would you
like to?
Would you like to know first hand what our issues are that will affect all
union members?
Would you like to be able to communicate that accurate info to your
co-workers?
Then attend the next free training,
held periodically at the
CSEA Local 860
offices, and become a Shop Steward for your department or work unit.

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.

Rights
(the
right to union representation when being questioned)
More Shop Stewards are always needed.
Our Monthly Union Meetings are
on a Tuesday or Thursday 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. 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.
