By Need

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.

Union Software is built for the collective bargaining economy — the local, the unit, the hall, the board — not for an employer HR stack. Training here is catalogue, path, session, credential.

How the week runs in the software

Education & LMS holds the path, the session, attendance, and completion on the person. People and Hiring Hall read expiry from that record.

The software answers what a role takes next, who is enrolled or waitlisted, whether completion landed, and what expires this quarter.

Blended lab.

How Union Software helps

The catalogue is role-aware

Online, instructor-led, blended; language and prerequisite visible.

Paths are the curriculum

New Steward Foundations; officer orientation; H&S Level 1.

Sessions have rosters

Capacity, instructor, waitlist, attendance. Completion when the work is done.

Credentials sit on People

The hall, the JHSC, and the Chief Steward can see them.

Invites use Communications

Segments from People — new stewards, new officers — not a shadow list. This need is learning. Turnout walks belong on Organizer / membership engagement.

A catalogue people can find

Members ask the office what exists. The binder is old. Drafts should not be public.

  1. Publish live courses by role, topic, level, and format; keep drafts private.

  2. Build or update the steward path so “what’s first” has an answer.

  3. Assign catalogues by role or committee.

  4. Confirm a new steward can see the next required action without a phone call.

  3. Keep the course behind the ticket.
  4. Do not keep a side certificate box.

Enrolment counts

Advanced Reports counts Education & LMS. Assessments stay restricted.

  1. Build the enrolment view.
  2. Keep people behind the number.

Get Started

Questions they actually ask

Where do seats and attendance live?

On the session in Education & LMS. Completions sit on the person.

Do completions survive a course rewrite?

Yes. Historical completion stays on the person after the course changes.

How do hall and JHSC see a ticket?

They read credentials and expiry on the member. They do not phone a box of certificates.

What can the executive be shown?

Enrolment and completion counts from Education & LMS. Individual assessments stay restricted.

Where does H&S training sit versus a claim file?

The course lives in Education & LMS. The incident or WSIB file stays on its case.
