To: BCGEU Stewards & Local Executive Members of the Peace River Area (who have not yet taken the Step Up Training)

Re: STEP UP Education Session

 You are invited to join us and your fellow BCGEU members for a day of education at the Peace River Area Office.

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 and returning stewards 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.

 Date: October 17, 2018

Time: 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
