On September 12, 2015 Local 776 hosted another Stewards Training Seminar presented by the IBT. After opening remarks by Local 776 President Ed Thompson Bill Munger, the IBT Eastern Region Training coordinator, was introduced by Ed.

Bill had a full day planned for the Stewards; they began by working on a questionnaire of their roles and responsibilities as stewards. Next, the Stewards were given 10 scenarios and, using a mock contract, determine if contract language had been violated. Lastly, using a case study the Stewards applied their knowledge by role-playing the first step grievance meeting.

Commented President Thompson “ This was the second training session the Local provided for the Stewards this year. The Stewards were enthusiastic, coming to the sessions knowing that what they learn here will help them become better Stewards on the job. Due to the response to this session we are going to schedule another training session as soon as the IBT’s schedule allows.”
