Role of the Steward Within the Association of Classified Employees
- A steward is the official ACE representative in the workplace responsible for taking the lead in addressing workplace problems. A steward is also responsible for implementing ACE’s overall vision and program in the workplace.
- The steward is the symbol of many acting as one in the workplace. Put another way, many act as one through the steward. It is not the steward’s job to do things for members, but to take the lead in doing things with members to improve our member’s working life.
- As a worksite leader the steward’s role, under the direction of the ACE Board of Directors and the Chief Steward, is to help workers act as one when dealing with workplace problems and help create uniformity in workplace standards affecting ACE members.
