CUPE is proud to offer our Steward Learning Series.  This series recognizes that the steward has an important role to play in a number of areas in the workplace and the union.  It provides an opportunity for stewards to explore a number of topics – all from a steward’s point of view.

At this Weeklong School, we will offer:

  • Challenging homophobia in the workplace
  • Connecting with Aboriginal workers
  • Disability issues for stewards
  • Handling discipline and discharge
  • Mobilizing workers
  • Notetaking
  • Resolving grievances without going to arbitration
  • What stewards need to know about health and safety

In order to register for the SLS workshop members must have completed the Introduction to Stewarding workshop and have some practical experience as a steward.  Please bring your Collective Agreement and your Stewards Passport (if you have one).

You may only pre-register online.  Your registration is not complete until the registration form and payment is received by the registrar in the Calgary office.

There are 20 spots per workshop with a maximum of 5 members per Local per workshop.

Scents and Fragrances  

In response to the health concerns of our members and staff, CUPE has implemented a Scent-Free Policy at all of our workshops.  Scented products such as hair spray, perfume and deodorant can trigger reactions such as respiratory distress and headaches.  Facilitators and participants are asked to refrain from using scented products while attending our workshops and meetings.

Thank you for your co-operation.

$600.00 per member

Registration covers each participant’s accommodations with breakfast, lunch and supper provided Monday through Thursday (Steak BBQ on Thursday evening) and breakfast and lunch on Friday.

If you have any dietary restrictions or concerns please contact Melody Voykin mvoykin@cupe.ca prior to May 8th so that special arrangements can be made.  

A refund will be issued providing notice of cancellation is given prior to May 8th.
