The Steward Program is for our most active members. Stewards are the leaders at their locations and participate in a wide range of union activities that include organizing non-union employees, market share protection, politics, community activism, member education, and in-store mobilization. Stewards act as a liaison between the union and the members and gives Local 135 a constant union presence in the workplace.

Stewards keep up to date on all union activities and current events and are able to report all important information to their fellow members. Stewards are leaders and mentors in their workplace who have earned the respect of both management and fellow members. Stewards truly value the benefits of their union job and always strive to protect those benefits.

Becoming a Steward is a big responsibility, but you will get the greatest satisfaction from helping your fellow union members.
