Out-of-Work List Software for Modern Union Dispatch

Eliminate Manual Tracking and Ensure Fair Job Referrals

Managing out-of-work lists by hand slows dispatch and leads to member frustration. Paper lists, spreadsheets, and phone calls are hard to keep accurate.

Union Impact offers a centralized, rules-driven out-of-work list system that integrates directly with dispatch. Members see their status in real time, and administrators stay confident that every call-out follows union bylaws and referral rules.

"The Union Impact team has improved the efficiency of our Market Recovery Program (MRP) by providing automated processing tools for our contractors and business office. This web-based tool has reduced the time required to process paper requests and time cards... [their] team worked with our Local Union to provide a system specific to our business requirements. The program allows us to track the distribution of funds and helps ensure the contractors comply with the MRP's rules. The program allows us to track every dollar allocated to each contractor, project, or member. We can recommend Union Impact to any Local Union looking to do the same."

"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Union Impact as a cloud based software provider for unions... Union Impact has helped us run a better market recovery program. The ability to do real-time tracking of job development and representative activities and the platform’s integrated nature has allowed us to free up man power that was once used on writing reports, consolidating information, and tracking jobs and contractors"

"We have used Union Impact software since January 2017, and it has been a lifesaver when trying to find members to fill labor requests... The software sends a dispatch by texting and emailing qualified members, and they can respond from their phone. I have been able to fill every call at a moment's notice. The first month using it, the program sent out 700 texts to members. Our members are happier because they are working, and our employers are happier because they have experienced workers on site. Win-Win!"

Their customer service department has gone to great depths to assist us with all our needs and has made several changes to accommodate us without hesitation."
