MEET YOUR UNIT 2 STEWARDS!

The Unit 2 Stewards’ Council is pleased to announce the following list of Unit 2 stewards and their groups. Unit 2 stewards will strive to:

  • Support and encourage Unit 2 members to participate in their departments and Faculty Councils.
  • Help Unit 2 members connect with each other and build relationships.
  • Offer workshops on the benefits and protections we have as members of CUPE 3903.
  • Promote campaigns that advocate for Unit 2 and for the union as a whole.
  • Reduce the isolation of Unit 2 members from each other, the union and the university.
  • Meet regularly with other Unit 2 stewards to pool ideas and work together.

Unit 2 stewards provide member support across different departments and hiring units. They advise and receive support from the Lead Steward Unit 2, Neil Braganza.

Here is also a link to lots of useful forms and documents that are helpful for stewards and the membership more broadly!
