Are you only a fair-share member of the union? If so, fill out a blue card and turn it into the GTFF office. Cards are available from your department steward, at the GTFF office, or online here.

Any department or non-departmental work site that has union members will elect its own steward(s). Stewards are voted by regular members in their respective worksites. Steward nominations are accepted in the early part of Winter Term. However, if your work site does not have a steward, nominations will be accepted until filled. Contact GTFF organiser David Cecil for more information. Stewards represent their work sites and vote in the Executive Council.
