By Role

Vice-President

Act for the President when they are out — and run the unit, site, or grievance portfolio you actually hold — from the same records the board already uses.

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 Vice-President the value is a scoped picture: the portfolio you hold, and the whole local when you have to sit in the chair.

How the week runs in the software

People and Grievances & Cases filter to the unit or worksite you hold. The same leadership views the President walks are available when you chair.

The software answers which files in the portfolio are due, what the unit was already told, and who the steward is on that shift.

How Union Software helps

Your portfolio is filterable

People, Grievances & Cases, and Advanced Reports filter by bargaining unit, worksite, and assignee. You work Unit C without drowning in Unit A.

Covering the chair is a filter, not a new login

The same board views the President uses — membership, open cases, dues position, bargaining progress — are available when you chair.

The agreement is next to the file

Agreements keeps the article searchable. You do not interpret overtime from a photocopy in the glovebox.

Members of your unit hear one story

Communications sends the update you and the President approved to the unit or worksite in People — not to whoever happens to be on a personal list.

Confidential files stay restricted

You see the cases your role and assignment allow. Covering the chair does not mean every discipline note is open.

Acting chair this Thursday

The President is at a regional meeting. You chair the executive board. You need the same pack they would have walked — not three texts and a verbal from the Chief Steward.

  1. Open the leadership report the President already filtered: membership, open cases, dues position, bargaining round.

  2. Drill the open-case total and mark anything overdue or due before the next regular meeting.

  3. Confirm the finance overview and the bargaining round-progress tiles match what you will say out loud.

  4. Hand the Recording Secretary the same saved views to attach to the minutes.

Get Started

Questions they actually ask

Do I get a second set of books when I act as chair?

No. You use the same People, cases, and reports. Filter to the unit or worksite you hold.

Can acting chair open every discipline file?

No. Assignment and role still control the record. Chairing the meeting does not unlock every note.

How do I stay on one worksite?

Filter People and cases to that worksite or unit. The rest of the local stays off that view.

How does my unit get the approved update?

Bargaining keeps the member-ready paragraph separate. Communications sends it to your unit in People.

How does Hiring Hall sit beside a portfolio?

Hall ranking stays in Hiring Hall. Your unit’s cases and People filters stay on those records. One platform.
