Dear John,
We've got a few spots left for our upcoming webinars! The Field Services & Education team has April and May webinar options ready and open for registration, including:
Grievance Handling 101 | Saturday, April 24 (1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET) : This 4-hour webinar gives participants the knowledge they will need in order to process grievances effectively, including: the five-step process of handling a grievance, identifying whether an issue is a grievance, gathering written verification and proof, and the skills needed in writing a formal grievance. The prerequisite for this webinar is the basic Stewards Orientation, or participants can take the self-paced basic stewards trainings found in the Stewards Toolkit on AFGE Learn. Participants should already be a steward at their local.
Introduction to Collective Bargaining | Monday, April 26 (1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET): For the first time in several months, we’re offering our Introduction to Collective Bargaining webinar. This four-hour introductory webinar is aimed at members who are likely to be involved in the collective bargaining process at their local or council. We will discuss what can and cannot be bargained over under federal law, “good faith” bargaining, use of official time, information requests, and how to access additional relevant resources.
E-Dues: Building Power | Tuesday, May 18 (8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET): Is your local interested in learning more about best practices for transitioning to E-Dues? This two-hour webinar outlines strategies for mobilizing teams, using workplace mapping to recruit with a purpose, and real examples of what has worked for other locals to successfully transition to E-Dues. This webinar is aimed at local leaders and stewards. If you have not already completed the Introduction to E-Dues self-paced online training, we recommend that you do so prior to the webinar; it takes about 15 minutes and is available at www.afge.org/edues.
Webinars are free and open to all members (unless otherwise noted). And, don’t forget about the dozens of self-paced, free online learning options and other resources available on the Education site! Click here to access the self-paced learning options.
“See” you in class!
In Solidarity,
