Local stewards are there to represent you at work and help find the answers to your problems. They are volunteers and play a vital role in recruiting new members and organising your workplace. If you have a problem, talk to your local steward. If they can’t handle the problem on their own, they can talk to the branch case worker or other branch officers on your behalf.
