Basic Steward Training on July 18th
AFSCME Local 2620 steward training flyer with a blue, green, and white color scheme. Large headline reads, "STEWARDS: DON'T FORGET THE FUNDAMENTALS."
The flyer emphasizes key steward responsibilities: listening first, knowing the contract, investigating before advocating, documenting everything, protecting timelines, building relationships, involving members, and asking potential members to join the union.
A large statement on the right side reads: "An effective steward doesn't just solve problems; they build union power in the workplace." Silhouettes of workers holding solidarity signs appear in the background.
A training information box at the bottom right contains the following details:
