Great not just for stewards!

This manual (perhaps we should call it a union bible) is presented in a very easy to read and enjoyable layout.The producers and editors of this manual did a great job. It's fun to read even the most boring things that a steward has to do!However, I don't even belong to a union. We're in the process of organizing and this book provided great ideas. A section that deals with bringing the co-workers together is great! It's a fresh reminder that Unions are only as good as the workers and workers need to fight every bit as hard as the local/international does to protect them and fight for them.Get this manual, well worth the price!

If You are in a unionas a steward it is a must read book

It is very explanatory about every step of stewardship and also explains every law that the employer will try to finnagle their way out of.

One of the most informative books I have read

As a newly elected Shop Steward, I took it upon myself to buy this book. I was tremendously impressed with the format of the book and found it extremely informative. It is a step-by-step trip through the minefield of being a Shop Steward. Including Handling the Most Common Types of Grievances, Your Rights at the Grievance Meeting (i.e., information management MUST provide to you) and a whole bunch more. Fortunately, it doesn't get bogged down with legalese and is very easy to read. Rather than focusing on the law (though it does when necessary) it focuses on practical, everyday issues of a Steward. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who either is a Steward, wants to be a Steward, or is simply interested in what a Steward goes through almost daily and why they exist.

The best book for union stewards, bar none. Outstanding!

Easy to read, clear, and comprehensive, this book should be read by every union steward in the U.S. -- in fact, by every union member.
