UnionForge
Institutional intelligence for labor leaders.
UnionForge unifies collective agreements, casework history, and bargaining data into a single, high-precision operational system. Built by the Local, engineered for the line.
Labor strategy shouldn't rely on scattered PDFs, inbox archives, or unwritten history.
UnionForge transforms dense legal language and fragmented records into structured, actionable intelligence. By standardizing how agreements, grievances, and bargaining trends are stored and cross-referenced, the platform equips local leaders, negotiators, and stewards with unprecedented clarity at every stage of labor relations.
Search across agreements, locals, and bargaining units in milliseconds. Compare clause variations side-by-side—including benefits language—analyze historical language through What Changed redlines, evaluate wage grids with steps and trends, and ground peer research in Comparators and Language Bank gold standards.
Track grievances, Health & Safety orders, and rights arbitration awards from filing to resolution. Centralize supporting documentation, threaded strategy discussion, and cross-case precedent notes—and escalate language or case questions through Peer Help when the network can accelerate resolution.
Move from readiness to table with guided Prepare workflows. Build interactive bargaining books, monitor active MOUs and interest arbitration awards, track labour board orders, and put Ask Contract to work for citation-backed answers from agreement text—so negotiation teams work from the exact same strategic baseline.
Maintain operational alignment across the executive board and steward network. Share peer help requests, message teammates directly, watch categories and orders for change, and keep a real-time operational pulse through the Dashboard across the Local.
Extract clauses, wage schedules, and complex language from raw PDFs using dedicated AI models. To preserve taxonomy integrity, all extracted data undergoes human verification—unrecognized categories route to an Admin Review queue before entering the trusted knowledge base.
