For local officers & executive boards
A briefing you can bring to your executive board
What Union Boss does for a corrections local, how member records are protected, and what setup takes — on one page you can print for the board.
The situation
Overtime hiring is recorded on paper: the sign-up book, the call list, the tracking forms. Checking a single day by hand means lining up dozens of handwritten lines against the calls that were made, so most days are never checked — and a skipped volunteer only surfaces when a member notices.
Meet & Discuss has the same problem in a different form. Management promises to look into it, and the next meeting starts from scratch. Union Boss does the reading and keeps the record; your officers decide what to pursue.
What it does
Overtime reconciliation
Drop a day's scanned overtime packet. Union Boss reads it page by page, pins every sign-up line to the original scan, and flags skipped volunteers, out-of-order calls, and mandates while volunteers were still available.
Claims an officer signs off
Nothing becomes a voucher claim until an officer confirms the finding against the paper. Confirmed claims print for filing.
Meet & Discuss issue tracker
Issues carry forward from meeting to meeting. When the minutes read as if one was settled, the tracker quotes them — and an officer decides whether it is closed.
Officers edit, stewards view
Officers run audits and confirm findings and status changes. Stewards can see overtime audits without being able to change them.
The contract underneath
Ask the contract with the article and section cited, screen management proposals, and keep the grievance log with its deadlines.
Board business kept separate
Executive board minutes live apart from Meet & Discuss minutes, so internal business never lands in anything built for the table.
Path 1 — Local adoption
The local requests access and we verify with its officers. We set up the facility, and the local's officers run the tools from there.
- Your facility's overtime forms, seniority list, and overtime rules set up before the first audit
- Overtime reconciliation and the Meet & Discuss issue tracker for your officers
- Contract, side letters, and arbitration awards loaded for the contract tools
Path 2 — Statewide affiliate
After locals are live, the state affiliate adds the statewide network layer — canonical CBAs, join codes, and cross-facility intelligence. Each local keeps its own workspace and its own documents.
- Canonical library and statewide dashboards
- Cross-facility comparison and arbitrator lean
- Affiliate join codes for attaching locals as they come on
Data ownership, security & limits leadership should know
- Your documents stay yours.Overtime scans, minutes, CBAs, and proposals are scoped to your local's workspace, are never sold, and are never shared across locals.
- Scans are member records.Overtime scans carry members' names, so they are stored encrypted. Line strips are cut from the scan when an officer opens them, not copied out.
- AI processing, not AI decision-making. Readings, findings, and clause matches are generated with Anthropic Claude under vendor agreements. Officers confirm every finding and every status change, and make every bargaining decision.
- You can request deletion.Contact support to remove account and uploaded content when your local's access ends.
- This is not a substitute for labor counsel.
Informational tool only — not legal advice. Verify answers with your union rep, bargaining committee, or labor counsel before acting.

Request access for your local
Tell us about your local. Union Boss is labor-side only, so we verify with your leadership before anything is set up.

Set up your facility
We set up your facility's overtime forms, seniority list, and overtime rules, and load your contract and side letters.
- 3
Reconcile a recent day
An officer drops a recent day's overtime packet and checks the findings against the paper before anything is filed.
- 4
Bring in the Meet & Discuss minutes
Add the last few meetings' minutes. Open issues become the running agenda for the next meeting.
- 5
Bring it to the state association
Once locals are live, the statewide affiliate can add the network layer on top. Each local keeps its own workspace.
Request a leadership briefing
We'll send briefing materials and set up a short call with your executive board, bargaining committee, or state federation staff. We respond within one business day.
Hold management to the record
