Do you know who your shop steward is? If you have a problem or a question at work, reach out to your shop steward as soon as possible.
Each worksite has a Union Representative (also called a Business Agent), — who are union staff who regularly visit your worksite to help make sure everyone’s rights are protected under your union contract.
Each workplace also usually has one or more shop stewards. A shop steward is a union member like you who helps enforce co‑workers’ rights in the workplace and speaks out on union issues.
It is good to have the names of your stewards and union reps along with the best way to reach them so in case an issue comes up, you can quickly reach out for help.
If you aren’t sure who your shop steward is or if you don’t have a way to contact them, please call our office and we can help you find that information.
