Whether you have been a steward for many years, or new to the position, this 2-day training is for you! This training will walk new stewards (and those that need a refresher) through their critical skills, concepts and scenarios to become an effective steward. As new union activists, you will become familiar with your contract, learn about basic worker rights, and the role of the steward as an organizer, leader, communicator and advocate in the workplace. Seasoned stewards will serve as a source of knowledge, exchange best practices with others, and learn new tactics for identifying leaders. We invite you to learn and connect, as we build collective power!

When:
April 26th-27th, 2024
8:00 AM- 4:00 PM
Where:
SEIU 503 Building, 525 NE Oregon St. Portland OR 97232

Participants will:

Learn the roles and responsibilities of a steward in the workplace.
Get familiar with your contract and other worker rights and how to enforce them.
Learn the 5 steps of the grievance process.
Discuss tips, tools, and strategies for being a great steward.
Learn the appropriate and respectful terms to use in discussing issues about race and gender oppression

Who should attend?

ADA Pilot Training for Stewards
2024-04-16 14:00 - 16:00
We’re looking to expand our engagement and support for members with disabilities. Many members with disabilities request reasonable accommodations through their employer, which is a multi-stepped process that can be frustrating, confusing, and uncertain. Requests for accommodation can take months and often union members ask for support from stewards.
We are working to increase steward understanding of reasonable accommodations and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is the law that protects disabled people’s access to businesses, jobs, transportation, and federal and local governments. Stewards who complete this training will gain a better understanding of the ADA and the rights of disabled workers, reasonable accommodations, and ways to promote inclusion of our colleagues with disabilities.
Both trainers are disabled Local 88 employees who have either completed or will soon complete their ADA Coordinator (ADAC) certification. This pilot training will be limited to 20 stewards, but there will be future opportunities for additional Local 88 Stewards and members to take the training.
Questions? Send an email to local88ada@gmail.com.

Register online by April 11th. Attending during work hours? Fill out the Lost Time Request Form

Trauma In the Workplace Action Meeting
2024-04-10 12:30 - 13:30
In response to concerns about increasing reports of workplace violence, Local 88 Co-Lead Stewards Rachel O’Rourke, Acute Care Coordinator/Behavioral Health Crisis Line/Multnomah County Health Department, and Alice Busch, Emergency Management Analyst Sr. / Multnomah County Emergency Management Department, collaborated with union leadership to develop and launch a Trauma in the Workplace Survey.
The survey was sent out to 2,800 Local 88 members in February. Over 90 percent of employees who completed the survey report that they are experiencing trauma reactions. Response to the survey has been overwhelming and we need to organize and take action. Building a Workforce Wellness Committee made up of Multnomah County employees will be the first step.
