You are invited to attend a one-day Enhanced Steward training for all Local 302 Stewards and Local Executives. This full-day event is intended to build steward confidence and solidarity. The day is also a chance for stewards to get to know each other, the opportunity to discuss problems specific to Local 302 and to share strategies for addressing worksite issues.

Please share what topics you would like to consider for the training with us by emailing Dee McKinney, your local chairperson, at [email protected].
