This workshop has limited capacity and is for stewards and elected officers who work with stewards—not staff. Please register only if this applies to you.
As the union's most active members in the workplace, stewards can regularly find themselves in conflict with supervisors. Sometimes this is just part of the job. But sometimes, stewards come up against particularly difficult supervisors who try to undermine the union at every turn.
Join Labor Notes and other stewards from a variety of industries to talk about strategies for handling bad management. »
What's the secret of winning a strong contract? Hint: You won't find it at the negotiations table!
Save the date for a two-part workshop from 7.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesdays, April 14 and 21, on how to build a successful contract campaign and harness the power of the rank-and-file membership to win the strongest possible contract.
ASL interpretation will be provided for this workshop series.
