Become a Local Unit Steward (formerly Unit Liaisons/Reps)!

Local unit Stewards help keep nurses on their unit informed. They function as a liaison between your Local unit officers and the nurses on your unit, so everyone stays in the loop regardless of their shift, schedule, or FTE. If you read your emails and texts, attend bargaining as an observer, provide feedback to WSNA and your bargaining team, and know where our WSNA Local unit page is, you are already doing the work and would make a great local unit Steward.
