Nominations are now open for anyone who would like to become a Kiwassa Steward. Nominations will close at 5:00 pm on January 15, 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.
