Fall 2007 Steward Training Level 1 - Make your HSA team the best it can be!
Stewards play a vital role in the union. Particularly important is the stewards role in contract interpretation, organizing and the grievance procedure.

Dates: October 29, 30 & 31, 2007
Location: HSA Office, 300 ... 5118 Joyce Street, Vancouver
The focus of this training session is for new, inexperienced HSA chief, assistant or general stewards who have received no previous training from HSA. Enrolment is limited, so experienced stewards who have attended previous workshops may only attend if there is space in the workshop.
