Executive and Stewards

Meet your 2026-2028 Executive Committee

Please don’t hesitate to contact your Steward if you have any concerns, we are here to help. Also, some situations may warrant a timely response from the union which can be better provided when there is as much notice as possible.

If you’re uncomfortable leaving the details of your concern, just leave your name and number and we’ll get back to you. You should get a response within 24 -48 hours if you leave a phone message or e-mail with how and when you would prefer to communicate.
