If you don’t have a steward who can help you think through what steps you can take, then nominate yourself or someone else to step up and fill the role! Steward training sign ups are the website, but you can also fill out this nomination form to nominate yourself or someone else in your area! If you want to be involved, but you aren’t ready to be a steward, you can volunteer to be a worksite activist. Worksite activists are invited into the same communication networks as stewards, but they are not expected to handle grievances.

If you have any questions about what either of these roles mean, then contact your steward or union representative. You can find your staff rep on the UIC Updates page - https://seiu73.org/updates/uic-updates/.
