Spanish-speaking shop steward seminar in Watsonville

This week, Teamsters Local 853 held a Spanish-speaking shop steward seminar in Watsonville. Shop stewards from Driscolls Inc., S. Martinelli, and Del Mar Foods attended.

Being a shop steward is a selfless job done on behalf of others. We encourage all members to extend a huge thank you to these, and to all, shop stewards at Teamsters Local 853. They are a critical guiding light for members and an important conduit between the Local’s Business Agents and the members. Every day, they fight to enforce and preserve the integrity of our collective bargaining agreements.

Thank you to Lorrie Bradley from Beeson, Tayer & Bodine for leading this training. Topics included steward responsibilities and duties, workplace organizing, and strategies for being a highly effective workplace representative.
