With the nation’s middle class under attack, workers are developing a new way to mobilize workers on the job and in their communities to fight for a better life—the Stewards Army.
The idea behind the Stewards Army is straightforward but powerful: Create a movement-wide network of stewards—the union official closest to the members, who works alongside the rank-and-file members—to educate, organize and mobilize members around key issues.
When the Electrical Workers (IBEW) was contacted by Comcast employees seeking respect on the job and the protections of a union contract, the union mobilized its Stewards Army to provide information and support for the workers’ efforts. During a nationwide blitz this week, more than 400 IBEW activists handed out leaflets at more than 100 Comcast worksites, letting workers know they have a right to join a union.
