Stewards are a core part of our Union’s Leadership structure and the training courses on this page are intended to give you the tools and practice you need to be successful representing your coworkers and enforcing your contract. Review the series below to see which training we encourage you to take depending on what kind of work you do. You do not need to be a steward to take the training. Contact your organizer to learn how to become a steward. If you need to be connected to your organizer email contact@seiu503.org or call 844-503-7348 and we can help you.  

If you are looking for other types of trainings or union events, go to our online Event Calendar.
