STEWARD’S WORKSHOP: Investigating Grievances
Calling All Union Stewards!
Grievances are a lot more than what you write down on a grievance form or what gets said in a grievance hearing.
Some of the most important work that goes into winning a grievance happens before you even file, and pays off big time if a grievance ends up going to arbitration.
This workshop is intended for stewards and elected officers who work closely with stewards. Please register only if this applies to you.
When: March 31st
Time: 7:30 – 9:00pm EST
Where: This is an online workshop and will be held via Zoom.
$10 – Regular registration
