Executive Board Meeting: July 9th, 2026

• We discussed policy development for Stewards and the Hardship Fund.
  • We still have plenty of hardship fund left, expiring in October. Please apply for assistance if you are in need.
• The Steward Support Request form has gone live. You can use this form if you need union support or are interested in becoming a steward.
  • Did you know stewards get PAID for steward time, and that steward activities include member outreach? We’d love to have you! Contact Henry at ChiefSteward@RWU6022.org or fill out the form above.
• We discussed the ongoing bargaining and/or grievance processes regarding AI in the workplace, Knight Cancer Group, CEDAR & SMMART layoffs/FTE reductions, hourly vs. salary designations, and ONPRC negotiations.
