As a newly elected Shop Steward, I took it upon myself to buy this book. I was tremendously impressed with the format of the book and found it extremely informative. It is a step-by-step trip through the minefield of being a Shop Steward. Including Handling the Most Common Types of Grievances, Your Rights at the Grievance Meeting (i.e., information management MUST provide to you) and a whole bunch more. Fortunately, it doesn't get bogged down with legalese and is very easy to read. Rather than focusing on the law (though it does when necessary) it focuses on practical, everyday issues of a Steward. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who either is a Steward, wants to be a Steward, or is simply interested in what a Steward goes through almost daily and why they exist.

A new, updated and expanded edition was published in 2006; the original was published in 1997. Be sure you're seeing the latest version.

It is very explanatory about every step of stewardship and also explains every law that the employer will try to finnagle their way out of.

Easy to read, clear, and comprehensive, this book should be read by every union steward in the U.S. -- in fact, by every union member.

The Union Stewards Complete Guide is a must for beginners and a valuable tool for veteran stewards.

Subjects such as Grievance Basics, Presenting the Grievance, Health and Safety Isssues, Building Unity and Strength and Dealing with Diffucult People are just some of the areas this book touches upon.

If you're a Union Steward who is having a difficult time with your employer or your membership, or if you just enjoy being well informed, buy this book now!!!

A great go to book. Any situation you can encounter is here and how to deal with it.

This is a great book for the begining steward. For the experience union officer most of it is just common sense stuff that most already know.

This book is a great source of information. I couldn't find any where else until now.

Has some good topics discussed. Would not recommend this book as a starter in labor law.
