Coverage is a People field
Steward assignment by worksite, classification, bargaining unit, and effective date. You can see the hole before the time limit does.
By Role
Chief Steward
Coordinate the steward body so time limits, fact sheets, and step meetings look the same on nights as they do on days.
Union Software is built for the collective bargaining economy — the local, the unit, the hall, the board — not for an employer HR stack. For a Chief Steward the value is coordination: roster, assignment, deadlines, and a meeting pack from live files.
How the week runs in the software
People holds steward assignment. Grievances & Cases holds overdue steps and the cited article. Education & LMS holds who finished the path.
The software answers who owns the file, what is overdue, whether two files cite the same clause, and what the board can open.
How Union Software helps
The list is the workload
Grievances & Cases filters by assignee, employer, worksite, status, and next deadline. Overdue is a view, not a rumour.
The article sits on the case
Agreements lets two stewards open the same clause. Consistency is shared language, not a speech at the steward meeting.
New stewards have a path
Education & LMS holds steward foundations and attendance so “I thought they were trained” has a record.
The board number opens a file
Advanced Reports rolls open, overdue, and outcomes. You still own the assignment.
Steward roster for the week
Days has coverage. Nights does not. A discipline meeting landed on the uncovered shift. You find out from the member, not from a roster.
Open steward assignments by worksite and shift / classification so the gap is visible.
Check whether the people you can move have completed the steward path.
Assign coverage and attach that steward to the incoming discipline file.
Put the gap and the assignment on the steward-meeting list.

How the software handles it
Overdue list
Grievances & Cases shows due dates and assignees.
- Open cases by due date.
- See the next step.
- Keep assignment on the case.
- Give a list that opens those files.
Shared clause on two cases
Agreements supplies the article. Both cases attach it.
- Search the agreement.
- Attach the article to each case.
- Open both on that clause.
- Walk them in the meeting from those files.
Pack from assignments
People and cases feed the pack. Sensitive notes stay off the projector.
- Build from current assignments.
- Include overdue counts.
- Keep notes restricted.
- Open the file when a number is challenged.

Get StartedQuestions they actually ask
How do I see overdue files across assignees?
Grievances & Cases lists due and overdue with the assigned steward on the row.
How do two files cite the same clause?
Agreements opens the article. Each case can attach that citation. Both open the same clause view.
How is the steward meeting pack built?
From current assignments in People and overdue steps on the cases. A challenged number opens the file.
How do I see who finished steward training?
Education & LMS completions sit on the person in People. Assignment and the path are those records.
Where does the file go when it leaves the floor?
The same case record. Assignment changes to the Staff Rep or Business Agent. Notes stay on the file.
