The elected members who serve as Stewards are the Grievance Committee. Their duty is to represent and assist their fellow crewmembers when violations of the contract occur or a crewmember faces disciplinary action by the company. They are the conduit for filing grievances about disputes over contract interpretation or discipline. The Committee's primary responsibility is to provide representation to our members in mandatory meetings with the company and assist Legal during hearings. They also provide advice on contractual issues as well as the filing of grievances.
