1199SEIU Delegates
1199SEIU uses the term “delegate” instead of “steward,” but the roles are similar to union stewards in other unions.
- An 1199SEIU delegate is usually a co-worker who will become the spokesperson to speak and act on behalf of employees about work-related matters.
- Union delegates are typically appointed by the union, or in the case of a delegate election, the union usually provides a slate of its choices from which you are expected to choose.
- Often union delegates enjoy perks that other employees do not, including paid time to conduct union business and access to confidential employee records and information.
