Handling discipline and discharge
For many stewards, discipline and discharge cases are the hardest grievances to handle. Learn about:
- key legal concepts and terms;
- the role of a steward during the employer’s investigation; when discipline is given; and during grievance meetings;
- how to develop effective arguments.
Notetaking
Why do I have to take notes? What kind of notes should I take? What happens to my notes if a grievance goes to arbitration? Are my notes private? Is it better to take notes on a computer or by hand? What happens to the notes I take when the case is finished?
This module answers important questions about notes, and provides practice time to work on note taking skills.
Representing members in front of management
Stewards and supervisors are equals when they meet about labour relations. This module equips stewards to be proactive when meeting with management. Learn tips for effective meetings, and build confidence by practicing meeting situations.
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 cooperation.
