    At all times the worksite committees must know the Union/Management Collective Agreement (i.e. SPIWU/SSPC/STSB
    /ESSO/PST). They must read every word and go over with their Union officials and understand it so that they will be able to
    know whether the Management is following the agreement or breaking it.

    They must know all the work around them thoroughly. The worksite committee must know what is expected from the
    average worker and what a fair day's works should be, and he must know the people they work with and know the
    Union's organization.

    The worksite committee must know the procedure for handling grievances thoroughly. The endorsement of the Collective
    Agreement depends on it. It is the duty of worksite committee to be fully aware of the member's grievances and
    process by which they are solved. The worksite committee should avoid delay in settling worker's problem. Promptness
    builds Union morale.
