Basic steward training webinar

November 4-5 from 1-4 p.m. each day

The Covid pandemic prevents us from gathering for face-to-face steward training but we are pleased to offer an interim basic steward seminar online. This training webinar is for you if you are a steward but have not yet attended our Steward Fundamentals course.

By the end of this webinar, you will understand

® your rights and responsibilities as a steward

® how to get started as a steward

® the grievance procedure

This does not replace our in-person STEP UP! and Steward Fundamentals courses. Once we can offer these in-person courses safely, you will be invited to register for them.

To join this online training, you will need:

® a computer with internal audio or external speakers, a microphone and built-in camera*

® a high-speed internet connection

® a relatively quiet space, a pad of paper and a pen and a copy of your collective agreement

*It is possible but very challenging to do this on a smartphone.

You can request a union-paid leave of absence from your employer for this training. We will send you a leave-of-absence form to submit to your supervisor.
