steward. As a democratic institution, a breakdown in communication can
seriously damage a union. Listed below are some of the things that the
steward should do and know to fulfill the role of communicator, and

How You go about it
1. Make sure your local has its own newsletter and that everyone
receives it.
2. Talk to the members daily about the union, ask questions and listen
to the responses.
3. Become an active listener as an important way to build solidarity
in your union. Active listening is one of the best methods to build
solidarity in your union.
4. Keep the union bulletin board updated. Use eye-catching fliers
whenever possible.
