Stewards Pulled Off Work

Stewards are supposed to be your first line of defense.

They're the ones on the floor. The ones who see what's happening. The ones who are supposed to step in when something's wrong.

But what happens when stewards get pulled off work?

When they're reassigned.

When they're moved.

When they're not available when you need them.

Members are left without representation in the moments that matter most.

And when management sees that stewards aren't present, they push harder.

Because the absence of representation is an invitation to overstep.

Strong stewards, backed by strong leadership, is how the contract gets enforced — not just in theory, but in practice.

Members deserve stewards who are present, protected, and empowered to do their job.

That's the standard. And it's non-negotiable.
