STEP UP TRAINING

DATE: Wednesday, September 18, 2024

LOCATION:

Peace River Area Office of the BCGEU

10147 100th Avenue, Fort St. John, BC

TIME: 9:30 am – 4:30 pm

STEP UP, our introductory one-day course, will introduce you to the BCGEU, explore our common values, union culture, and our diverse community of members. Through stories of solidarity and courage, you will gain the strength and support you need to begin your journey as a new or returning steward. Along the way, you will learn about your fundamental union rights and useful union tools and strategies for getting started in your role. Newly elected stewards will have priority registration. You will leave feeling more informed, confident, and ready to support a member through a Step 1 grievance. This course is the first step on our new learning pathway for stewards.

· A union-paid leave of absence is provided for this course. (Include hours of work details in your RSVP) Please get approval from your supervisor prior to registering.

· Reasonable child and/or other dependent care expenses may be reimbursed.

**NOTE: In your RSVP, hotel accommodation is available for September 17th to members attending from Chetwynd, Tumbler Ridge, Hudson's Hope & Fort Nelson. Lunch will be provided to all attendees. Please indicate in your RSVP if you have any allergies or special dietary requirements.**
