Steward's Seminar 2005

        Teamsters Local 26 Fifth Annual Stewards Seminar was held on Saturday, November 12th, 2005.  Approximately 50 Stewards representing many crafts attended the five hour seminar.  As in years past, all attendees were very pleased with the program that representatives from the IBT conducted.  This year Sarah Young, IBT Department of Training and Development and Walter Edwards, IBT Department of Strategic Research & Campaigns covered topics such as Contract Costing, Strikes & Picketing and Building Membership Participation.  The Local offers this program each November for all Stewards or members who are interested in becoming a Union Steward in their workplace.  We encourage any member or Steward who has not attended to take advantage of this valuable learning tool.  Knowledge of your rights, your contract and your Union is empowering. Stewards on the jobsite are the first line of defense.  Thank you to all those who attended.  We appreciate the job you do!
