We are still recruiting stewards for the 2023-2024 academic year! What is a steward you might ask? Essentially you’re a union representative, and act to help support our members in understanding their rights and contract. The specifics entail helping our members with questions about the contract, filing grievances if the contract is violated, and representing the union at certain meetings. Stewards are integral parts of our union, as they help and support you--the bargaining unit--if you ever have any issues regarding your rights and protections as a graduate researcher employee at OHSU. This is a great way to help support GRU and our bargaining unit! A strong steward network is a huge part of a strong union. If you have questions or would like to become a steward please email [email protected].

If you need assistance from a steward, please do not hestitate to email [email protected].
