Calling all stewards! CUPE is proud to continue with our exciting education program - the 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 workshop we will offer:
Creating an Accommodation Friendly Workplace
Learn the legal framework for the duty to accommodate, what a good accommodation process and plan look like, and what to do if the employer is not willing to provide reasonable accommodation.
Creating Psychologically, Healthy and Safe Workplaces
What is a psychologically healthy and safe workplace? Learn to identify the psychological hazards in our workplaces, and the role of the steward in eliminating psychological hazards.
Understanding Mental Health
Explore the steward’s role in supporting and representing members around mental health and mental illness. Learn what to do about stigma, and how to approach a conversation with a member about a possible mental health issue.
Note: Prerequisites - “Introduction to Stewarding” workshop and some practical experience as a steward.
Please bring your: Collective Agreement, Steward Handbook and Steward Learning Series Passport
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.
