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.

 In order to participate virtually, you will need access to a laptop or tablet and have either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your internet browser.

If you require a Union-Paid Leave of Absence, please indicate this when you RSVP. Notify your Supervisor immediately of the date you require off for Union Business and advise paperwork coming.
