    About this ebook

    About the Book
    The U.S. is currently witnessing a return to the working class of unionized and union represented workers. All over the country, workers are forming new unions without the support or finances that large and pre-existing labor unions have, and these new unions, especially the new union stewards, are going to need as much information as possible to help them represent their members. The goal of this book is to educate union stewards and unionized workers on how to represent their members. Although the book is directed towards labor and a union stewards role, it also covers leadership qualities and should intrigue anyone in a representative position.
    About the Author
    Jon Voss is a native of Washington state and has been an active union member for over eleven years. His goal is to support as many local activities, businesses and workers as possible. He currently resides in Renton, Washington.
