Bullying is an increasing problem at workplaces across the country. Dealing with workplace bullying is a complex issue and cannot be fully addressed in a 1 day workshop. However, in this time frame participants should be able to get some clarity about the problem, possible solutions, and the union’s role in addressing workplace bullying.

This training will provide extensive training to local stewards in order to enhance their abilities as effective union representatives.  The emphasis is on skill development; how to effectively recruit new members and encourage them to become active, how to keep members informed and interested in the union, how to organize members for workplace action and how to thoroughly investigate problems and competently represent members on grievances.
