Job Steward Education – 2022 Fall/Winter Schedule
July 19, 2022
To: MoveUP EB, EC, JS
We are pleased to announce our Fall/Winter schedule for in-person and online classes of our recently renewed Job Steward Level One and Job Steward Two!
This new material is a departure from what we have done previously, where we focused mainly on grievance handling. Now, the new and improved JS1 and JS2 will cover off topics of advocacy, history and organizing, along with the requirements for handling grievances. These courses will help to build capacity of our stewards, to be stronger leaders in all aspects of our union’s work.
Job Steward Level One – Online
September 14, 21, 28 & October 5
Register here. 40 maximum
This course is open to all job stewards.
This course is ideal for new job stewards who are eager to learn and grow into their position of job steward. You will learn about union and the labour movement, and will start to learn about the grievance process and the importance of the steward in our workplaces.
NB. You must complete all four days to receive your certificate of completion.
Job Steward Level Two – Online
October 26, November 2, 9, & 16
Register here. 40 maximum
This course is the follow-up to Job Steward Level One. You will expand your knowledge and confidence in your roll as steward as you learn some of the more complex labour relations topics that stewards face.
