Welcome Local 445 Shop Stewards!
Shop Stewards are members who have been elected by their coworkers to police the contract, represent workers when called to meet with management and resolve basic workplace issues. Shop stewards are trained at the Local 445 Leadership Academy several times per year. Shop Stewards work very closely with Local 445 Business Agents and staff to ensure that their worksite issues and victories are resolved and celebrated. Shop Stewards- we salute you!
Shop Stewards are the backbone of our local. If you have a good Shop Steward please thank them today for the work they do for all of us! If your worksite doesn't have a Shop Steward call your Business Agent to nominate someone or yourself today!
