The grievance process is a hard-won right that provides a venue for handling workplace issues. But there are other ways to deal with problems that come up in the workplace. At this Shop Steward Round Table, we'll share our experiences of using other strategies like coaching members to be assertive, informal conversations with Human Resources and managers and joint labour management meetings.

By developing a problem-solving approach with an aggrieved member, you can help them solve problems early and to their satisfaction. This also shows the employer that you and your co-workers are prepared to assert contractual rights and challenge any brick walls you come across!

In the afternoon, stewards will meet with their chief stewards and discuss issues in their specific workplaces.
