 Saying that “Stewards are our first line of defense on a new front,” UE is making its “Stewards Guide to Fighting COVID-19” available for free. “Stewards have a special role to play right now to assist our members as they face a life-threatening situation. Some of our workplaces must stay open to provide life-sustaining services, and stewards will need to advocate for special workplace protections. Other workplaces must close or drastically reduce the number of workers present to prevent this disease from spreading more rapidly, and stewards will need to help workers navigate layoffs and maintain connections with members outside of work.” UE is the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America.
