DEAR OPEIU 8 MEMBERS:
The contract doesn’t enforce itself and rights don’t defend themselves. That’s why we need trained, engaged members to lead Local 8.
Join us April 11th at OPEIU 8’s annual Shop Steward and Leadership Conference! Coffee, snacks, and lunch will be provided.
Saturday, April 11
10 am – 4 pm
Seattle Labor Temple (5030 1st Ave S, Seattle)
AGENDA INCLUDES:
- New and Advanced Steward Training including grievance investigations and information requests.
- Building an Action from the ground up.
- Union Contract Scavenger Hunt.
- The Steward’s Role in a Weingarten Meeting – Role play of a Weingarten meeting and a steward’s responsibilities.
- Steward Panel – Ask a panel of experienced stewards about navigating daily steward responsibilities, their role in bargaining or organizing in your workplace.
Whether you’re new or have years of steward experience, there’s a lot for you to gain at this upcoming conference. Don’t miss out!
