Help the Guild build its power by learning about some of the most effective and fundamental tools available to us as union members! Veteran labor lawyer and author Robert M. Schwartz will lead three virtual seminars examining requests for information, just cause, and understanding past practice. 

REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION 
Monday, April 26 at 7:30 p.m. ET
One of the most useful parts of U.S. labor law is the obligation of employers to furnish records and other information needed to investigate and process union grievances, as well as to negotiate contracts. This webinar will cover how unions can get the most out of these information requests.

JUST CAUSE: HOW TO WIN DISCIPLINARY GRIEVANCES 
Monday, May 24 at 7:30 p.m. ET
We deserve nothing less than just cause, no exceptions. This webinar is based on the Schwartz's book "Just Cause: A Union Guide to Winning Disciplinary Grievances." Among the subjects covered are lax enforcement, due process, hearsay evidence, disparate treatment, and progressive discipline.

PAST PRACTICES: WHAT ARE THEY AND WHEN ARE THEY BINDING
Monday, June 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET
Stewards need to know what a valid past practice is and what the past practices in their workplace are in order to defend them from erosion by management. This webinar will cover how unions can build power on the job through past practice grievances.
