Union Officers

Like Stewards, union officers perform critical work in support of our members.

Health and Safety Officers — Injured yourself on the job? Suspect unsafe work conditions? Contact a Health and Safety Officer. Committee members also attend regular meetings with the joint health and safety committee.
