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:
Handling Discipline and Discharge
Learn about key legal concepts and terms, the role of the stewards during the employer’s investigation, when discipline is given, and during grievance meetings, and how to develop effective arguments.
Handling Grievances
In this module stewards teach each other “best practices” and share strategies for handling difficult grievances.
Representing Members in Front of Management
This module equips stewards to be proactive when meeting with management. Learn tips for effective meetings and build confidence by practicing meeting situations.
What’s Our Duty?
Learn about where stewards get their authority in the workplace, the duty of fair representation, and other labour laws that cover the workplace.
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.
