UFCW 5's Shop Stewards Program
Local 5's shop
stewards program exists to insure that the members of
the union receive the best possible representation on
the job. The easiest way to deal with a problem is to
resolve it before it explodes into a huge one. That is
why the shop stewards program is so important. Stewards
work in the same facility you do and are able to take
care of problems when they come up or get a union rep
involved if necessary.
Problem on the job?
Contact your steward as a first step. No steward in your
workplace and you would like to get involved? Contact
Local 5's coordinator or your area coordinator listed in
the right hand column.
