**Teamsters Local 743 holds Healthcare Stewards Training .**
Over 60 local 743 stewards attended the Healthcare Stewards Training that was held on Saturday February 17, 2017 at Local 743.
Commissioners Tom Jeffery and Emil Totonchi from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, (FMCS), instructed the class.
Healthcare stewards from both the private and public sector learned about grievance handling procedures, problem solving skills, conflict resolutions as well as several other skills.
Newly elected stewards gained valuable knowledge about their role as a union steward. Senior stewards refreshed their skills as well as learning new ones.
Education and training are a top priority to Teamsters local 743. Union stewards play a very important role in the success of Local 743. They are the first contact for members when they are faced with issues or concerns. Congratulations to all the stewards that attended.
As a reminder, union stewards are required to attend a minimum of two (2) training per year.
