Local 21 is proud to maintain a number of standing committees that play a vital role in our Union. These committees exist to ensure members have a direct voice in shaping Union priorities, policies, and activities. They provide a platform for members to actively participate in discussions on issues that affect our workplaces, our rights, and our communities.

The purpose of these committees is to:

• Engage Members: Encourage active participation in Union initiatives and decision-making.

• Represent Interests: Address workplace concerns, community involvement, and member well-being.

• Develop Policies and Recommendations: Offer informed guidance to the Executive Board on matters affecting our membership.

• Strengthen Solidarity: Build stronger connections between members and ensure collective action is informed, coordinated, and effective.

Participation in committees is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard, shape Union action, and contribute to the strength and unity of Local 21. We encourage all members to get involved and make a difference.
