Being a good steward takes not only a passion to help fellow members but a willingness to learn. That is why Local 1000A is proud to congratulate 53 new stewards for completing the introductory Stewards Course this spring. Activists from a variety of workplaces (including Maple Grove, Green Grove Foods Corp, Loblaws, Great Food, Real Canadian Superstore, No Frills, and Janes Family Food Ltd), participated in the sessions in Toronto, Ottawa and London.
They learned about the local union, the labour movement and a steward’s duties. The courses were co-instructed by newly-trained instructors, Amanda Atwell, Leonna Turcotte, Fred Williams, and Glacier Samuel. Every year, Local 1000A offers courses in the spring and fall for interested
Stewards.
