| OCEA Stewards
OCEA’s strength comes from a long tradition of member involvement. One of the most significant and rewarding ways in which a member can become involved is by joining the ranks of our OCEA Stewards. Our Stewards are our “frontline” troops. They serve OCEA’s members in many ways. Stewards are involved in:
• Communications •
• Bulletin board displays •
• Grievance handling •
• Member recruitment •
• Problem resolution •
• Labor Management Committees •
At OCEA we have a formal Steward program. Our Stewards meet once each month at OCEA. They receive training in a number of specialized fields. This is a great opportunity to receive valuable training and work one-on-one with OCEA staff! Be a part of “how OCEA works”—from the inside! As an OCEA Steward, you’ll make friends, solve problems, and help your fellow OCEA members. You’ll learn new skills. And, in the process, you’ll have fun! Want more information about how to become an OCEA Steward?
Wonder what OCEA Stewards do, and what kind
of commitment is expected?

OCEA Announces Training Program for Stewards, New and Experienced! OCEA’s Employee Relations staff has spent several months now developing a new OCEA Steward Training Program. This exciting new program will be comprised of two training sessions, with each session being held in alternate months. This flexible schedule will provide current and new OCEA Stewards with the opportunity to attend both sessions. All new OCEA Stewards are required to attend both sessions, and it is highly recommended that current Stewards attend the training as well.
Session 1 of the training will cover such topics as History of Organized Labor, Governing Laws, and the Memorandum of Understanding. Session 2 will cover Roles and Responsibilities of a Steward, Handling Workplace Issues, and Grievance Handling. The subject matter is intended to provide OCEA Stewards with the tools and knowledge they require to be effective workplace leaders.
Each session of the OCEA Steward Training Program will be an all-day training and will be held at OCEA Headquarters. Upcoming training dates are as follows:
