STEP UP!, our new introductory, one-day course for members and stewards, 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 get started with the BCGEU. Along the way, you will learn about your fundamental union rights and useful union tools and strategies for tackling challenges back at work. You will leave feeling more informed, confident and ready to connect with your co-workers.

 A union-paid leave-of-absence is provided for this course.

 Travel, meals and accommodation, if required, are also provided.

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