Steward Training – New Job Steward 1 and Job Steward 2
November 3, 2021
To: All MoveUP Job Stewards, Executive Councillors and Executive Board
We are pleased to announce that our new Job Steward Level 1 and Job Steward Level 2 courses have been completely overhauled and ready to be shared with all of you!
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.
These courses are open to all Job Stewards; however, for now, priority will be given to stewards who have not taken JS1 and/or JS2. Remember, to be considered for our Job Steward Seminar at Harrison Hot Springs on March 3-6, 2022, you MUST have taken both JS1 and JS2. Please click on the date to register for the class.
