EGD Unit Stewards

Union Stewards represent union members, departments, shifts, and work sites. They monitor Collective-Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), advise members on contract provisions, confront employers over safety issues, and represent members in grievance proceedings.

A Steward's job is important and exciting. They protect jobs and the welfare of fellow employees and use their leadership skills to build the union.

If you have a question or concern regarding your workplace, please contact the Union Steward in your workplace area.

Unifor Women's Advocate

What is a Women’s Advocate?

A Women’s Advocate is a specially trained workplace representative who can assist with matters such as domestic violence and abuse at home, or workplace harassment.  Women may need assistance in finding out about specialized resources available through the company (Employee Family Assistance Program) and in the community (Counselors, Women’s Shelters) to help assist them in dealing with these and other issues.
