Teamsters Local 464 Shop Stewards are the eyes and ears on the plant floor ensuring the provisions of the contract are properly adhered to.

 

Our Stewards are educated, capable and have access to Union Representatives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

 

The Shop Steward is the first person you go to when things go wrong. Shop Stewards [elected by their peers or appointed by the Principal Officer] commonly serve a two year term.

 

Teamsters Local 464 periodically holds two day education seminars for Stewards which are hosted by Brigitte Sottile ~ Director of Education for Teamsters Canada. This ensures our Stewards are kept up to date on what works and what has changed in work place relations.

Testimonial

"I was a Shop Steward and was also on the contract negotiation team. The Union took the time and trouble to learn all about our industry and what we do. This means they are better able to fight for us whether it is on the job or at the bargaining table. We have the best contract in our industry. Thanks guys!"

- Gerald Price - Agrifoods

"I was there when we brought the Union in. The first-time contract they won for us was unbelievable. It changed the quality of my life. I am now a Shop Steward and enjoy working with my Union and looking after my fellow workers. "

- Paul Landrecht - Shop Steward. Island Farms Dairy.

“They have demonstrated the dedication and leadership that
our Local requires. They have always provided sound counsel, support, and frank
discussion on matters involving the members, contract negotiations and our
Local.“ 

- Bruce Tillapaugh –Shop Steward. Island Farms, Victoria
