The Union Project is a free-to-use platform designed to guide workers through the unionization process in a safer, smarter, and simpler way. Using the Union Pathways Framework, workers are guided through a series of phases each with corresponding objectives and target milestones to progress through phases. During the course of these phases, users work together to create a hierarchy of workplace issues that a union can address, educate themselves and their coworkers on the benefits of unions and labor rights, and use systems integrated right into The Union Project to raise awareness, recruit members, and grow to reach levels of support needed to hold a unionization vote.
Support for workers doesn’t end after a unionization vote. Workers can opt-in to be represented by The Union Project in exchange for smaller union dues than more traditional union would offer. Union dues are built on a needs-based model so unions only pay for the assistance they need in a highly tailored support system. These smaller dues are supported by location-based algorithmically generated bargaining summaries and agreement templating for individual workplaces based on cost of living assessments, market benchmarked wages and benefits, company financial snapshots, inflation adjusted wage tracking, related successful union drives, and the hierarchy of workplace issues created by users.
Additionally, The Union Project support more non-traditional organization efforts for workers through company-wide and industry-wide union drives and a platform built specifically to enable the organization of gig workers. The Union Project aims to modernize and strengthen the labor movement for today's workforce.
Empower workers to unionize safely and effectively—no matter where they are—by providing a private, structured, and accessible platform that protects anonymity, counters union-busting, and builds lasting solidarity from the ground up.
This app is built for anyone who’s ever thought, “We deserve better.” Whether you’re at a retail chain, warehouse, café, call center, or hospital—if you and your coworkers want to unionize, this platform gives you the tools to do it safely and walks you through every step of the process.
