Nominations are now open for stewards at Chilliwack Opportunity Society and will close at 5:00pm on June 26, 2025.

Stewards are the primary representatives of members and have an important role within the Union.

Some of the roles of a steward are:

• Helping co-workers interpret and understand their collective agreement.
• Supporting co-workers in meetings with management.
• Listening to co-workers about their issues.
• Acting as a liaison between the worksite, the union local and the BCGEU's area offices.
• Communicating about broader local issues and training opportunities within the union.
• Making sure all co-workers are in the loop by updating the union bulletin board.
• Referring members to committees on specific issues, such as the Joint Labour Management and Occupational Health and Safety Committees.

Feel free to visit the union's website for more information (www.bcgeu.ca/stewards). The Union provides training for stewards to learn their new role.
