Each of the Unifor Local 975 Units is governed by its own Executive Board, as elected by the Unit's entire membership. Members are represented in the workplace by "Stewards" who are elected by the members of each area or work location. The term of office for both the Executive Board Officers and Stewards is 3 years. The next election of the EHS Executive Board will be in the Fall of 2025, with the Stewards elections in Spring 2025.

EHS Unit Stewards
Union stewards represent departments, shifts, and work sites. They monitor collective-bargaining agreements, 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 the jobs and welfare of fellow employees and use their leadership skills to build the union.
EHS Stewards are elected by the union members of the EHS Unit within their respective work locations. All EHS members in good standing, are entitled to run for a Steward's position for a 3 year term. Once elected, a Steward is then eligible to run for a position on the Executive Board. The term for both Executive Officers and Stewards is 3 years.
The next EHS elections will be held as follows:
EHS Unit Steward - Spring 2025
EHS Executive Board - Fall 2025
