2016 HSA steward elections
Elections will be held during the coming few weeks to select members to fill the following HSA positions for the coming year:
1. Chief Steward
2. Assistant Chief Steward
3. General Stewards
4. Occupational Health & Safety Stewards and
5. Labour Council Delegates (for chapters that are, or wish to become, affiliated to their local labour council).
Stewards play an essential role within HSA and the workplace by advocating for members, keeping members informed of union activities and providing democratic leadership. HSA provides training and ongoing support for members elected to these positions.
All members are encouraged to vote in these elections, and to consider running for these positions. Women and members from other equity-seeking groups are particularly encouraged to seek election to these positions.
Please check the notice boards at your worksite for the time and location of elections, and speak to your stewards for information about running in these elections.
