UNION STEWARDS ARE UNION EMPLOYEES
 
 

A former union officer sued a UFCW Local for sexual harassment. The Union stated that it did not have the 15 jurisdictionally-required employees to be covered by Title VII, arguing that the stewards were volunteers and received income from their regular employer, not the Union. The Eighth Circuit found the stewards to be employees under Title VII because the Union controlled their termination and hiring, controlled the manner and means by which they performed their duties and because they did receive some benefits from the union.
