Why locals choose eMembership
The best labor union software is the one built for unions
A lot of software gets sold to labor unions. Most of it was originally built for trade associations, professional societies, or general CRMs and adapted later. eMembership was built day-one for labor unions and has been deployed and continuously evolved since 2008. The result is a platform where CBAs, dues classifications, grievances, dispatch, and organizing are core capabilities, not bolted-on extras.
Three reasons locals switch
What makes eMembership different from other labor union software
When locals compare eMembership to UnionWare, MemberTrak, UnionTrack, iMIS, Aptify, or a custom Salesforce build, these three are the differences they call out most often.
Purpose-built for unions
Built day-one for labor
eMembership was designed from day one for labor unions, not adapted from a generic CRM or association tool. Every module reflects how unions actually work.
- Native handling of CBAs, dues classifications, and bargaining units
- Grievances, dispatch, and organizing as core modules
- No "association software" workarounds for union-specific workflows
Priced by modules, not headcount
Predictable pricing
A subscription based on the modules your union uses, with no per-seat or per-member fees. Growth never penalizes your local financially.
- No per-member fees that punish organizing success
- Unlimited staff and steward accounts included
- Three-year total cost of ownership available in writing
A fixed-price Discovery Project
Implementation without surprises
Every implementation begins with a structured Discovery Project: a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement that maps how your local operates before configuration begins.
- Four to six working sessions documenting your dues rules, workflows, and reporting needs
- A fixed cost and milestone schedule — a number you can take to your board
- Data migration validated in a parallel preview environment before cutover

Common Questions
Questions about the best labor union software
What makes eMembership the best labor union software?
eMembership is purpose-built for labor unions, with 18 configurable modules scoped to your local through a structured Discovery Process and pricing that carries no per-seat or per-member fees. It is used by more than 55 locals and internationals across the US and Canada, supported by a US-based team that works exclusively on union technology, and continuously improved with two platform releases per year included in every subscription.
How much does eMembership cost?
eMembership is priced as a subscription based on the modules your union uses, not on the number of staff users or members, so growth never increases your cost. The subscription covers hosting, support, and two platform releases per year. Implementation begins with the Discovery Project, a fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement that documents which modules your local needs and produces a fixed cost you can take to your board. We share a full three-year total cost of ownership in writing during the intro call so there are no surprises later.
Is eMembership built for our type of union?
eMembership runs locals and internationals across construction, public sector, healthcare, education, transportation, entertainment and arts, and service industries. The platform is configured during a structured Discovery Project that maps your specific CBAs, dues structures, bargaining units, and reporting requirements, so the system reflects how your local actually operates rather than forcing a generic template.
Can we migrate from our current system?
Yes. eMembership migrates data from spreadsheets, legacy databases, MemberTrak, UnionWare, UnionTrack, Salesforce, and other systems. Migration runs in a parallel preview environment so your team validates every record before going live, and your existing system stays in production until the cutover is complete.
How long does implementation take?
A typical implementation runs three to six months for a mid-size local, depending on complexity. Phases include Discovery (workflow mapping and configuration design), data migration with a preview environment, staff training, and a managed go-live with US-based support on call during the first month. ILWU Local 13, for example, went from kickoff to go-live in four months while replacing a database more than ten years old.
Do members get an app and a portal?
Yes. The Member Web Portal and a native iOS and Android Member Mobile App are available as additions to the platform. Members can update contact information, pay dues, file grievances, sign up for events, report work, and receive push notifications, and all member-side updates flow into the same live database staff use, with no manual sync. Winmill also builds and hosts membership portal sites and dedicated union websites.
What kind of support is included?
All eMembership clients get US-based implementation and ongoing support from a team focused entirely on union technology. Every client is assigned a dedicated Project Manager and Account Manager reachable by phone or email, with a structured helpdesk for logging and escalating requests and 24/7 application hosting support. Two platform releases per year are included with the subscription, each deployed to your own test environment for review before it reaches production.
