Shop Stewards

Do you know who your shop steward is? If you have a problem or a question at work, reach out to your shop steward as soon as possible.

Special Programs and Discounts

In addition to the protections offered by having a union contract, UFCW membership also comes with access to a wide range of other ways to save money and plan for your future, such as scholarships and discounts programs.

Know Your Rights

If you are called to a meeting with your supervisor and you are afraid it might be disciplinary, as a union member, you are entitled to have your shop steward or other union representative present, but you must clearly state this to your employer. Having a shop steward present keeps the conversation on the record, and means you will have someone their to represent your rights and ensure you aren’t unfairly disciplined.

Weingarten rights are important because a member waives the right to a witness if the member does not speak up and expressly request a witness.

The role of stewards in disciplinary meetings is to hear everything that is said, and to ensure that supervisors and managers do not question the member unfairly by, for example, putting words in the member’s mouth or by bullying members into agreeing to things they otherwise would not agree to.
