Stewards are the eyes and ears, hands and feet of AFGE Local 1534. They are the front line for members who have concerns to address. Stewards need to have support and assistance from the officers of the Local for them to do their job effectively. Our goal is to work with our new Chief Steward to make sure that our stewards are well trained and supported in their work.
When a steward comes to us with a question or concern, we want to be ready and willing to get the needed answer. We want to train our stewards through workshops or classroom training at the National's institute. We know that members expect a lot from stewards. We know that stewards give a lot of their time and effort to help our Local to be the responsive organization that we want it to be. Therefore, we must be there for them. If we expect them to stand up for you, we cannot do less than stand up for them.
This is a new blog about contracting in the government. Having had the unfortunate experience of being a whistleblower, I have learned something about how waste, fraud, and abuse happens.
