Questions About the Steward Program?
What are the requirements for current Stewards to maintain their certification?
Every two years each Steward must complete the following to maintain their certification:
- Attend the 8-hour Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) training every 2 years
- Complete at least 2 Continuing Steward Education classes (CSE’s) every 2 years such as:
Steward’s conference CSE’s
Local or worksite Shop Steward training
Online Shop Steward CSE’s
What if I am currently a Steward but missed the 8-hour CBA training?
If you are currently a steward and missed the 8-hour CBA training, contact your WFSE Council Rep to express your interest in attending the next available session. These trainings are offered several times a year in various areas.
Who can become a Steward and attend the 'Stewards in Action' (SIA) training?
Stewards are the face of the union. Our Steward Program requires Local President approval before a member can attend our ‘Stewards in Action’ (SIA) Intro Steward Class.
How can I find out about upcoming Steward Classes, CSE’s or SIA?
For information on upcoming Steward Classes, CSEs, or SIA, reach out to your Council Rep. All training opportunities are also posted on the WFSE website calendar.
