On-demand institute | Tuition: $99
Union members know their workplaces better than anyone, and effective stewards are one of a union’s most important assets. Stewards are the eyes, ears, and embodiment of the union in the workplace. This Essentials for Union Stewards institute is designed to prepare members to understand labor in the economy, know their legal rights, recognize potential grievances, and investigate and assist bargaining unit members in the workplace and in grievance or investigatory meetings. The institute is self-guided and accessible 24/7, giving students the flexibility to study and learn at their own pace. Becoming a steward requires taking on more responsibility than being a member, but this class prepares students to confidently fulfill that role and find the satisfaction of making a real difference in their workplace.
