What is a Shop Steward?
Because your union representative can not be at your workplace around-the-clock, shop stewards who are employed where you work act as on-site representatives.
- They are familiar with your contract and can answer general questions.
- They assist new employees in joining the union and are knowledgeable about the benefits of becoming a member.
- They are familiar with the grievance procedure and can direct you through the proper steps (in particular, when your union representative is unavailable).
- They are available to help you identify violations of the contract and can assist you in referencing sections of the contract.
- They act as a liaison between employees and the union.
- They understand problems and challenges facing your department/company and relay pertinent information to the union.
- They participate in contract negotiations, speak on your behalf and distribute flyers and information at your work site.
- They attend union meetings and are kept abreast of union-wide updates and labor issues.
