the union offered were in January 2020. These classes have been on hold since the pandemic, but they came back with a vengeance this past June! Classes were held in Maui on June 15, in Hilo on June 21, in Kona on June 22, and on Kauai on June 28. These intensive day-long classes cover everything from your rights in the contract to how to file a grievance. Kudos to our nearly 60 members who stepped up this past summer to be stewards! Stewards are the crucial bridge connecting union help with workers' problems on the job. More steward trainings are coming in the fall, so stay tuned.
