03 Mar Local 149 Stewards Train for the Future

Posted at 11:31h in BCTGM Stewards, Education, Local Union News by

Nearly one year after voting to become members of BCTGM Local 149 (Memphis, Tenn.), workers at the Blues City Brewery in Memphis ratified their first union contract on November 11, 2021.

The first order of business for the more than 700 workers at the large industrial brewery, according to BCTGM Southern Region Vice President Zack Townsend, was to nominate shop stewards. Once elected, it was vital that the Union hold shop steward training to educate the new stewards on how to investigate and process grievances, educate other members about the BCTGM and to provide daily workplace protection of the new collective bargaining agreement.

The first shop steward training for Blues City Brewery was conducted by Townsend and Local 149 President Letitia Malone. Local 149 steward Kurt Ramsey, from Riviana Foods in Memphis, also attended the training.
