NEW SHOP STEWARD TRAINING
Saturday, March 7
9:30 – 11 AM
Online via Zoom
We’re holding a New Shop Steward Training next Thursday, and we’re looking for members who want to be a point of support for their coworkers, help enforce the union contract, and keep the workplace organized and informed.
If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should say something,” this is a chance to be that someone with training and backing from Local 8.
You don’t need to have all the answers, just a willingness to listen, learn, and stand up for each other!
We will send the Zoom info to participants after they register.
If you have questions, please contact tara@opeiu8.org or nallely@opeiu8.org.
