Stewards are workers in your department or lab who can answer questions about the contract or grievance procedure, can act as your representative to your boss, and can help you file a grievance. If you are a PhD student at Emory facing a workplace issue, complete this form and/or reach out to your department steward (cc: emoryunite@gmail.com). Below is a directory of current EmoryUnite! stewards.
Under US law, you also have Weingarten rights, which means you have a right to request to be accompanied and represented by a union steward in any disciplinary meeting. Visit this page to learn more.
We're always looking for department stewards. If you'd like to learn more about the role, visit our 'Join!' page or review SEIU's Stewards Manual. To become a steward for your department, email us at emoryunite@gmail.com!
No experience necessary - we'll provide the training!
