It’s Not Grieveable, Now What?

Many grievance representatives say their most difficult task is communicating with members who believe they have a legitimate grievance when a thorough investigation shows otherwise.  While it can be hard to share this news, we must always remember that the grievance process is just one way to address our members’ issues.  In this webinar, you will:

  1. Learn how to explain the results of a grievance investigation
  2. Identify available alternatives to solve an issue outside of a grievance
  3. Create a plan to execute your chosen alternative

If you are a Local/Unit Officer or grievance representative, this online class is for you!  It is especially useful for those who have recently completed CSEA’s two-part grievance representation workshop.

Monday, September 16, 12 pm to 1 pm

How to Conduct a New Member Orientation

AFSCME, it is more important than ever that we introduce new employees to the benefits we have fought for and won.  This program is designed to give you the resources necessary to implement and build your own new member orientation program for your local or unit.

This workshop is for Local and Unit officers and activists who are interested in building a more effective New Member Orientation Program.

Duty of Fair Representation

This training is geared specifically for CSEA grievance and discipline representatives but is accessible to all members.
