Victories for State Employees

Welcome to 46 new NAPE Stewards! Will you be next?

NAPE has trained 46 new stewards this year! A steward is a workplace leader who is knowledge about our contract, communicates with members, answers questions, represents employees in investigatory meetings and grievances, and organizes members to strengthen our union.

Are you interested in becoming a NAPE steward? Training takes just three hours, and you’ll leave with a great deal of knowledge about our contract, your rights, and the power of a strong union.
