STEP UP TRAINING

The "STEP UP Training" online course will be held:

DATE: Thursday, March 10, 2022

LOCATION: Zoom

TIME: 9:00am – 4:00pm

STEP UP: An intro to the BCGEU for all new Stewards and new Members

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. A training package will be mailed out to you so please make sure that we have your current home address.

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.

As in the past, you will be eligible for a leave of absence. Please get approval from your supervisor to attend the training.

Please register by Tuesday, March 1, 2022

Together in Solidarity,
