Shop Steward Guide

Empowered and well-trained shop stewards are the backbone of successful local unions. The OPEIU Leadership/Shop Steward Guide provides training materials and resources for local union shop stewards, staff and emerging leaders. Most of the content can be customized and adapted to fit the unique training needs of each local union. The OPEIU Leadership/Shop Steward Guide continues to develop, so be sure to check back often as more content is added. Visit other links on the OPEIU website for information on member benefits, new member orientations, one-on-one conversations and other useful resources.
