SHOP STEWARDS ARE THE FACES OF UFCW LOCAL 1496  

As union members, we are all responsible for advocating respect on the job and making sure we’ve got each other’s backs, but some UFCW members choose to take a more active role as stewards of our workplaces.

What is a Shop Steward?

Shop Stewards are Union Members who represent you on-site. Either by election or appointment, a Union Steward ensures management is following the agreement set forth by the Union Contract and helps with union related concerns, acting as a bridge between management and other union members.

Key Duties of a Shop Steward Include:
* Greeting new members in the store.                      
* Being available to advise and assist members in your store.
* Attending Shop Steward meetings and functions.      
* Advising Union Representatives of any new hires or problems in the store.
* Attending General Membership meetings.
