Steward Program
Working together to build a united, informed, and involved Membership
The purpose of the Steward Program is to promote open channels of communication between employees and SLOCEA. The presence of active and effective Stewards at work-site locations increases member participation, helps to educate and inform the membership and creates a united coalition working to foster improved benefits for its members.
Stewards perform these important functions:
- Participate with SLOCEA staff in a comprehensive Steward training session
- Introduce new employees to SLOCEA and explain the benefits of membership
- Promote membership elections, ratification voting, attendance at meetings and rallies, etc
- Recruit non-SLOCEA members
- Promote the website “Members Portal” and communicate new postings
- Communicate SLOCEA information to keep employees up-to-date on relevant issues
- Provide information and knowledgeable advice to co-workers pertaining to labor relations
To find out more about serving as a Steward, contact Senior Labor Representative Theresa Schultz at 805-543-2021 or at tschultz@slocea.org.
