On April 20 & 21, 2012, seventeen new Local 500 shop stewards completed their Introduction to Stewarding Course held at the Cindy Klassen Recreation Centre. All five Local 500 Units and one Affiliate were represented by the members attending the session.

Shop stewards are the key to making the union strong. They work with members to help solve problems, and with the employer to make sure your contract is followed. They are also a key source of information about important workplace issues and developments.

In order to assist our Shop Stewards in performing their function more effectively, CUPE Local 500 offers a Steward Orientation and Introduction to Stewarding Course.
