The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE-IAM) recently conducted union training for 35 members of the Forest Service Council, focusing on the benefits of intermediate stewardship.
Jon Mikkelson, the council’s Secretary-Treasurer, explains that participants engage in specialized workshops to improve their skills in contract interpretation and the formal grievance writing process.
Beyond technical instruction, the gathering emphasizes the importance of professional solidarity and building strong interpersonal connections among members. Attendees specifically highlight the master agreement as an example of a collective bargaining framework that effectively protects their interests.
