Union Contracts Toolset
Description & Features
Strengthen union contract negotiations with a searchable database that combines all union contracts, a detailed cost-of-living assessment, and comparisons of local and regional salaries.

Community Return on Investment
Drastically reduce the cost of legal fees and worker hours in union contract negotiations.
Decrease time spent by city employees building out the cost of contracts for each scenario proposed.
Negotiate favorable terms by comparing similar contracts, cost of living indicators, and compensation packages.
Compare different classes of contracts and use the information to guide legal contract negotiations with various unions.
Why we are different
There is currently no single database that houses all union contracts. We are the only source for this kind of database.
Basic Union Contracts Toolset features include:
Cost of Living
Understanding the true living wage in an area is integral to understanding if unions are proposing wages that are fair in the lower-paid positions or proposing increases in the higher end jobs to the detriment of the rest of the workforce.Salary Comparisons
The basic cost-of-living tool is complemented with a searchable list of positions and tenures, providing salary comparisons for regions as well as other similar cities outside of the region. This feature is critical in conversations where the union representative is presenting an anomaly as the norm.Testimonials
-
“Local governments have a variety of union contracts that are renegotiated every few years. To make matters more complex, each side of the table brings their own datasets and measures of truth. The Union Contracts Dashboard increases transparency while substantially reducing the cost of negotiations—often resulting in savings far greater than the cost of subscription.”
