By Need

Find a connected workflow for representation, bargaining, organising, dues, reporting, strike readiness, or multi-local coordination.

A white Canadian or American man steward in his forties, work-clean shirt, at a small table with a notebook and a laptop showing a case header (no names).

Grievances and contract enforcement

Every file has a member, an article, a deadline, and a next step.

A white Canadian or American woman in her forties at a bargaining table, agreement open, proposal register on a laptop (no readable names).

Bargaining preparation

The committee should sit down knowing the unit, the expiry, what is open, and what members were already told.

A white Canadian or American woman in her forties in a high-vis vest (no logo) with a clipboard, speaking to two members at a plain table outside a bright hall — not a night rally.

Strike readiness

Know who can be reached, who is on which gate, who checked in, and which hours can be paid — before the first morning.

A white Canadian or American man in his thirties talking with two coworkers in a bright lunchroom — one a Black woman, one a white woman in work clothes.

Membership engagement and growth

A member who cannot be reached, a worksite with no steward, a notice that missed the new initiate — that is a growth problem, not a slogan.

A white Canadian or American woman in her fifties at a counter, showing a member (a Black man in work-clean clothes) a printed standing line with the amount masked.

Dues transparency

Members ask if they are current.

A white Canadian or American man President in his fifties at the head of a plain table, printed pack in hand (no readable names).

Reports and union intelligence

The executive should walk counts that come from the records already in use — not a monthly rebuild from five exports.

A Black Canadian or American woman Staff Rep in her forties at a plain table with two local officers — a white man President and a white woman Chief Steward.

Multi-local coordination

A Staff Rep, a regional body, or a large local with many units should see each place clearly — and still share the language and the report.

Morning rail: a white Canadian or American woman in a hardhat (no sticker) at the counter; a Black dispatcher on a headset; a white man in his sixties with a referral slip.

Hiring hall and dispatch

Request.

Voting

Three different decisions.

A white Canadian or American woman in her forties wearing a high-vis vest and safety glasses (no contractor logo), pointing out a condition to a Black man H&S rep with a notebook.

Health and safety

Many hazards never become a contract grievance.

A white Canadian or American man in his fifties facilitating steward training at a flip chart (no crest).

Education and training

The next steward, the new officer, the certified member — a path they can find, a room you can run, a completion date you can show.
