The union will be hosting an enhanced steward training day for all BCGEU Local 103 Stewards on Wednesday, April 24 at the Lower Mainland Area Office in East Vancouver.

The Enhanced Stewards' Course is an annual refresher course for existing stewards. We will be using this day to inform, discuss and connect and develop greater capacity to represent our members in the workplace. All Local 103 stewards are eligible and encouraged to attend this one-day training to update your stewarding skills.

To attend, stewards must be scheduled to work April 24 and are responsible for requesting union leave from their employer for the day with sufficient notice. The BCGEU provides paid union leave for one day.

The topics covered in this course will be determined by surveying the stewards who RSVP by the deadline. Possible topics may include: the role of the steward, grievance 101, BCGEU Constitution Article 7 - Discipline…

Registration is limited, so please RSVP by no later than Friday April 12.
