Stewards' Corner: Did You Know You're Allowed to Read Your Boss' Emails?

from The Labor Notes Podcast · host Labor Notes

Stewards are often thought of merely as enforcers of a union contract on behalf of the unit. But as unit members themselves, stewards are in a real position to organize their co-workers—not just play a form of de facto legal defense in individual grievance cases.  Joining this week's pod is Labor Notes organizer Joe DeManuelle-Hall, who leads Labor Notes stewards’ workshops on how to think like an organizer, and how to get the information you want from the boss.
