Re: Steward Nominations

• 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.
