NTEU Stewards
Stewards are employee volunteers committed to helping NTEU members in matters of concern related to violations in the NTEU Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA or "the contract") and federal employment law. Stewards work in partnership with other stewards and the NTEU Chapter 280 officers on matters of importance to the Chapter. Stewards serve as our eyes and ears. Being easily accessible, Stewards are frequently initial points of contact for employees who seek help or guidance from the Union. These volunteers specialize in knowing how the CBA applies and educating employees about their rights and spotting CBA violations. In coordination with the Chief Steward and other officers, they meet with management and negotiate and file grievances. Stewards help ensure that all NTEU bargaining unit employees are treated with dignity and respect in the workplace at EPA headquarters. If you are interested in serving as a steward or would like to know more, please contact our Chief Steward.
