How to Contact a Steward? | | Tell your supervisor (or HR representative) that you want to meet with your steward. Stewards are trained in the contract, and will be able to give your problem the attention it needs. Your supervisor doesn’t have the right to ask you why, and must set up a private meeting in a timely manner on work time (In paid status). Ideally, and whenever possible, these meetings should be scheduled for the next day after the request is made when both employees are scheduled to work. However, it is understood that this is not always possible due to real operational needs.
If your supervisor tells you to set up the meeting yourself, or says no steward is available, contact the Local 2412 office (257-2803) or Interim Chief Steward Gary Mitchell at local2412president@gmail.com and we will trouble-shoot the problem.
You may also contact the office with address changes, membership problems, and general questions or if you're not sure where to go for help (Local 2412 office or 257-2803). | | |

Represented Employees Rights | | Every two years, The Wisconsin State Employees Union negotiates a new contract with the State fo Wisconsin. Local 2412 has one member on the Administrative Support Bargaining Team. The agreement states what wages, benefits, rights, and responsibilities we have, and what rights and responsibilities management has. Both the union and the state are obliged to obey this agreement. If your supervisor violates our contract, you can file a grievance to force them to correct the problem. One of our rights under the contract is the right to file a grievance on work time and to have a steward present during any disciplinary or investigatory meeting with management. If you believe disciplinary action may result from a meeting with your supervisor ASK for a Union Steward.
