Component 1 (UBC Academic Workers)
Find Your Representatives
If you’re experiencing an issue at work, your peer union representatives are the first place to go to start getting the issue resolved!
Stewards are your co-workers who are elected to represent you and the union. They are the first point of contact if you have any questions, concerns, curiosities, or quandaries. To find a steward who works in a department near you, consult the list below, or send an email to the Grievance Officer (grievance@cupe2278.ca) or the Lead Steward assigned to your faculty group.
If you can’t find a steward in your department, please fill out the request for info/assistance form (embedded in this website and linked here), and a union representative will be in contact with you.
