Facing Management: A New HSA Steward Training Workshop

This is a new HSA steward training workshop. The original ‘Facing Management’ was offered in September and November 2023 and October 2024 and has been renamed ‘Stage Two Meetings.’ If you took that class, we have updated your workshop records, and you are encouraged to apply to this workshop.

This one-day workshop for stewards will:

• Explore the collective agreement articles and legislation that empower members and stewards.
• Identify the employer’s obligation and limitations when interacting with stewards.
• Review various ways that stewards face management (e.g. Labour/Management committee)

This workshop is open to all stewards who have taken the prerequisite (see below). Please apply to one of the following dates:

Date: Wednesday September 17, or Tuesday October 21, 2025
Time: 9am - 4:30pm PST
Location: Virtual via Zoom
Prerequisite: HSA’s Basic Steward Training workshop
