Become a Steward

Local 1000 stewards are at the core of our collective power. They are the workplace advocates for our union, educating and advocating for our members. Stewards are the crucial connection between the workplace and the union, harnessing the power of our members at the workplace and amplifying their voices.

The Leadership Apprentice Program for Stewards (LAPS) fosters leaders in the workplace who advance the core mission of Local 1000.
