Job Steward Education – Early 2024 Schedule
December 12, 2023
To: All MoveUP Job Stewards, Executive Councillors, and Executive Board Members
We are pleased to announce our Early 2024 schedule for in-person classes of our Job Steward Level One and Job Steward Level Two courses!
The new and improved JS1 and JS2 will touch on topics such as the advocacy of our union, labour history, the constructs of class, along with an introduction to the requirements for handling grievances and investigative interviews.
With these courses, you will learn about key moments in the Canadian labour movement, about our union and about our collective power as union members.
Remember, to be able to attend our three-day Job Steward Seminar, scheduled for March 2024 at Harrison Hot Springs Resort, stewards must have completed JS1 and JS2.
