The RWDSU Chicago Joint Board last week conducted a Shop Stewards training to help members build skills that will allow them to assist fellow employees and ensure the union contract is followed in their workplace. Chicago Joint Board President Lisa Russel and Treasurer Ryan McIntyre led the event. Steward trainings not only impart valuable skills, but provide an opportunity for RWDSU members from different shops to build worker solidarity and discuss common issues they face.
The RWDSU represents over 2,800 workers at three Fresh Mark meat-processing plants in Ohio; Fresh Mark Salem, Fresh Mark Massillon, and Fresh Mark Cold Storage. At a meeting recently, Fresh Mark workers met for important steward training, and the union distributed RWDSU red vests for all members so they can show off their RWDSU pride and union solidarity.
