Find a Steward!

Stewards are union representatives who can provide support, communicate important information about the union, and help foster a strong sense of solidarity within the workplace. If you do not have a steward in your specific department, you can contact one in a department similar to yours, or your district. For workplace issues, you can fill out this form for help!
