CUPE 998 Steward Drive

Becoming a CUPE 998 steward is a meaningful way to support your coworkers and help create a fair, respectful, and safe workplace.

As a steward, you serve as a vital link between union members and leadership, ensuring that everyone’s rights are upheld and voices are heard. It’s an opportunity to build your leadership skills, stay informed about workplace issues, and make a real difference in people’s day-to-day work lives.

Whether you’re helping to resolve conflicts, providing guidance on collective agreements, or advocating for better conditions, being a steward means standing up for fairness and solidarity

How to get involved

A Steward Information Session will be announced shortly for those interested in attending. This session will provide an overview of the role and responsibilities of a steward in the workplace

Lead Steward Announcement

CUPE would like to announce that Gord Meneer will take on the role of Lead Steward for CUPE Local 998.

There was only one (1) candidate by the end of the fourth Thursday in October, thus an election will not need to be held.

Thank you to Bryanne Koehn for her contributions, and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

Please join us in welcoming Gord Meneer as our new lead steward.

In Solidarity,
Michael Crowley,
CUPE 998 2nd VP
