Volunteer as a Steward

Unions begin with you.

When workers unite, they make things better for everyone. That’s why unions were created to stand up together for fair wages, safe workplaces and decent work hours.

Locals form the foundation of the union. The Local is where members connect to the union - it's where we go for help, where we meet to discuss workplace concerns, where we elect representatives and vote on proposed contract settlements.
