Ladysmith & District Credit Union – Learn, Grow and Lead by Becoming a Job Steward at MoveUP
January 29, 2025
To: All MoveUP members at Ladysmith & District Credit Union
Our job stewards occupy the most valuable roles in our union, offering workplace leadership information, and insight to the staff and elected representatives at the MoveUP office. They offer support and guidance to their co-workers, prevent minor issues from escalating, and contribute to the overall functioning of the workplace.
Becoming a job steward can be a rewarding experience where you can help and support your colleagues while learning valuable skills. As a steward you will learn how to interpret your collective agreement and ensure that you and your co-workers’ rights, under the agreement, are protected.
MoveUP offers regular opportunities for training to learn all the skills needed, which include conflict resolution and a deeper understanding of your collective agreement. As we prepare for the next round of negotiations, we aim to increase engagement and strengthen our membership. We’re seeking individuals ready to be trained as skilled workplace advocates, ensuring you and your colleagues receive the necessary information and support.
Please read our online member guide “What is a Job Steward and How do I Become One?” and consider putting your name forward.
If you are interested in becoming a steward or learning more about the role, please email Christy Slusarenko at cslusarenko@moveuptogether.ca.
In solidarity,
Dora Wong, Union Representative
Christy Slusarenko, Vice President, Combined Units
