Every workplace needs someone who’s looking out for workers’ rights, but did you know that many HGEA sites don’t have a steward?
That’s where you come in.
As a steward you’re on the front lines, helping in HGEA’s fight to protect our members’ rights and bring fair and decent treatment to the workplace. In your role as a steward, you’re the leader, organizer, representative, and problem solver that your colleagues deserve.
If your work site needs a voice, why not you? For more information, contact the HGEA Member Service Center at (808) 543-0000 or email service@hgea.org.

“Like a taxpayer, if you want a say, you participate: become a steward, learn the inner workings of a union, serve on committees or boards.”

“As a steward, I keep members informed about the union and help protect my fellow colleagues and members. Being part of a union is about solidarity and standing with other members, and being a steward is how I contribute to that.”

“I do it because I think it’s important to have an advocate at my work site. As a steward, my coworkers know they can turn to me when they have questions about the union or need the union’s help.”
