[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1034476, member: 42554"] As a Steward for longer than I care to admit I can tell you that there has never been a time where I had enough help. It varies by Local but usually there is a number of how many Stewards per shift. Some Locals have "Paid" Stewards in which the pay is their dues, and then they will have Alternate Stewards that are unpaid. Most of my time has been spent as an Alternate Steward or voluntarily unpaid by choice. There is no difference between the titles except the pay, and anyone getting into this for the free dues will be sorely disappointed. So don't feel you necessarily have to displace the other Steward to become one, he might welcome the assistance. I believe most Locals do not offer paid Stewards, but regardless get a copy of your Local's Bylaws and see what they say about electing and/or appointing Stewards. My first 'election' was 4 of us signing up for 4 open positions. "OK, you're a Steward now" and the rest is history. I've worked in buildings where we could fill a conference room with Stewards and one where it was just me for all three shifts. I always appreciated any help that came my way. From what I've read here I'd say you would do very well. [/QUOTE]
