NEXT STEWARD COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, August 27th, 8AM-12PM
2525 W Alameda Ave, Denver, CO 80219
NOTE: ALL Steward Council’s going forward will be IN-PERSON unless there’s inclement weather.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
What would you like to see on the next Steward Council Agenda? Do you have any suggestions for topics to discuss?
Are there any important updates from your departments that you would like to hear reported back at the next Steward Council?
MONTHLY STEWARD HIGHLIGHT
How do you as a steward facilitate solidarity within your union or how would you like to see solidarity within your union?
“I try to be inclusive for all members working in my area by communicating as much as possible. If actions or anything is coming I will send emails to the entire membership in my department, as well as connect on team huddles across all the different teams. I try to educate members on what the union stands for and the benefits that we have fought for, so that they can become more invested in standing up for SEIU.
I would really like to see more member involvement in actions and support for the entire union as the other areas of the union support our causes so much! So many members are disinterested in the “union” and I believe we need unity to be a strong union!“
Jennifer Woods, Adjuster, Research and Resolution
STEWARD TO STEWARD TRAININGS
