By Need

Hiring hall and dispatch

Request. Match. Offer. Assign. The referral rules stay attached from the contractor’s call to the member on the job.

Union Software is built for the collective bargaining economy — the local, the unit, the hall, the board — not for an employer HR stack. The hall here is Hiring Hall on People, with Finance for standing and hours.

How the week runs in the software

Hiring Hall holds the requisition, the ranked list from People, offer outcomes, and assignments. Standing and hours continue into Finance & Dues.

The software answers what was requested, who is eligible and why, what each offer did, and whether tickets and standing are current.

Members waiting — diverse trades clothing, no logos.

How Union Software helps

Requisitions capture the request

Trade, agreement, shift, crew, credentials.

Eligibility is ranked on current records

Availability, credentials, classification, agreement, list position, local rules.

Outcomes stay on the call

Offered, accepted, declined, unreachable, dispatched.

Assignments continue

Who is working where; hours can continue into Finance.

Leadership can review

Fill time, outcomes, credential readiness — without a Sunday spreadsheet. This need is the workflow. Business Manager and Dispatcher are the people.

Request to open call

Voicemail is not a requisition. Ranking a half-request creates skip complaints.

  1. Record the requisition — trade, agreement, shift, crew size, tickets, start.

  2. Attach the agreement the call is worked under.

  3. Split slots if more than one classification was requested.

  4. Set status to Open so matching uses that record.

How the software handles it

  1. Open the eligible list.
  2. Read ticket dates on the name.

Hours and standing after assign

Assignments carry dates. Hours can go to Finance & Dues. The next rank reads People standing.

  1. Keep assignment dates.
  2. Send hours to finance.
  3. Read standing before the next rank.
  4. Hold a name on a new requisition if standing fails.

Get Started

Questions they actually ask

How is the eligible list ranked?

Hiring Hall ranks from People using the factors the local configures.

Where do offer outcomes sit?

On the requisition. Accepted names become assignments on the jobsite roster.

How do hours and standing continue after the slip?

Assignment dates stay on the dispatched names. Hours can go to Finance & Dues. The next rank reads standing from People.

How is a name-hire stored?

As a requisition type with the same offer history. Not a note.

What if the local does not run a hall?

Then Hiring Hall is not the need. People still holds members.
