The mandate is a governed vote
Voting: eligibility from People, notices, observers, turnout, certification. Individual selections stay anonymous.
By Need
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.
Union Software is built for the collective bargaining economy — the local, the unit, the hall, the board — not for an employer HR stack. Readiness here is vote, then command: locations, shifts, check-ins, support, pay.
How the week runs in the software
Voting runs the mandate from People. Strike holds locations, captains, shifts, check-ins, and hours. Finance & Dues pays from those hours.
The software answers who can vote, which gate is short, who checked in, and which hours are eligible for pay.
How Union Software helps
The command centre is the plan
Readiness, captains, locations, schedules, communications, hardship, strike pay.
Shifts are real assignments
Location, time, capacity, captain, accessibility. Gaps show before the morning.
Check-in is live
Who arrived on which shift. Captains do not phone a count every hour.
Pay follows approved participation
Hours into controlled strike-pay review. Hardship stays restricted. This is not only “mobilization comms.” It is the action.
Eligibility before the strike vote
The committee recommended a vote. A mail-merge list will not survive a challenge.
Create the strike vote: question, dates, time zone, methods, observers, certification.
Build eligibility from People — unit, status, dues standing — and resolve exceptions.
Send the notice through Communications to that approved list.
Watch turnout (never choices), close on schedule, and certify with the observer record.
