 The
Backbone of the Local UnionJust as the local union is the backbone of
the International, the steward is the backbone of the local union. As
member-appointed or -elected representatives, you help members enforce their
rights in the workplace.
Visit this section of the Teamster web site for tools and resources to help you do your job better. From Weingarten Rights resources to a roadmap toward being a more effective steward, you will find what you need. Stewards are on the front line every day, working directly with members to make sure contracts are enforced, workers' rights are not being violated, and the workplace is a safe place to be. You are the face of the union, and your role as communicator is critical to solidarity and membership participation.
