University & College Workers

Union software that works across campuses, departments and units.

Union Software is designed around the structures, campuses, and representation requirements of university and college locals.

University and college unions represent members across campuses, departments, faculties and ancillary services, often in more than one bargaining unit. Union Software helps officers, representatives and stewards maintain one connected view of members and representation across the institution.

Understand the Environment

Post-secondary bargaining units can include clerical staff, technicians, library workers, facilities employees, food-services staff, teaching assistants, sessional instructors, research staff and other campus workers.

Members may be distributed across campuses, faculties, departments, libraries, residences and ancillary operations, with some work tied to the academic term.

Job postings, contracting-out, hours of work, accommodations, discipline and health and safety issues can generate significant representation activity in a year that compresses files into term cycles.

Scenario

  1. A strike deadline is close, and laboratory, trades and clerical members on two campuses need one clear announcement.

  2. Staff build the audience in People by campus, department and bargaining unit, then send the strike announcement through Communications.

  3. Strike assignments and picket locations write back to the same member records as people check in.

  4. When bargaining resumes, the local sends the next update to those groups and can see who opened the last message.
