Floor training for stewards and local officers — start here before national school
Recommended training path
Start with Steward 101 for role basics, then Officer Learning Center for six modules with self-tests. Open the other playbooks when a live file needs them.
Practice workspaces
Three on-device worksheets mirror Officer Learning modules 1–3 — score eligibility, log discipline meetings, and draft RTW scripts before you walk into HR.
Five-point filter, 6 W's, FAR sheet, and alternate pathways when the score is zero.
Rights checklist, mitigator talking points, and early-resolution scripts.
Meiorin reference, functional limits, and HR email scripts — no diagnosis on the form.
Draft a standard local bylaws template from your executive, quorum, and fiscal-year choices — copy or download as text.
Where the self-tests live
Officer Learning modules include a quiz at the bottom of each lesson. Use Jump to Quiz in the module header, or scroll to Self-test after reading. A perfect score marks the module complete on this device.
Same depth as a training handout: gate, steps, worked example, and sources.
Orientation, three hats, representation script, DFR basics, and a worked discipline example.
Includes self-test quiz
Six modules with scenarios, floor checklists, printable sheets, and a quiz per module.
Forum gate, 6 W's notes, CA clocks, and a printable intake sheet.
LRA s.74, OLRB bulletins, and a worked intake file for stewards.
Chart coworkers, find organic leaders, and score union support 1 to 5.
Recruit and orient new members with a repeatable signup path.
OHSA s.43 stage 1 and 2 with ministry Part V guide.

What must be in local bylaws and how to amend them with notice, quorum, and national approval.

Ontario LRA s.74 sets the duty of fair representation (arbitrary, discriminatory, bad faith). College CAAT units may use the CCBA instead — confirm which act applies.
