STEP UP, our new introductory, 1-day course, will introduce you to the BCGEU, and 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 with the union. Along the way, you will learn about your fundamental union rights and useful union tools and strategies that will leave feeling more informed and confident. This course is open to members and new stewards and is the first step on our new learning pathway for stewards.

A union paid leaves-of-absence is provided for this course. Travel, meals and accommodation, if required, are also provided. Lunch will be provided for the days you are in class.
