Software for the way
ILWU locals actually run

Yes. ILWU Local 13 in Los Angeles runs on eMembership, alongside a broader client base of 55+ labor unions. The platform is configured for each local during a structured Discovery Project that documents your specific workflows: training tracking, employer remittance files, member portal requirements, dues structures, and reporting needs.

Yes. Rather than manually keying in thousands of payroll and remittance records each month, employer files can be uploaded directly into eMembership. This eliminates data entry errors, reduces the need for temporary staff, and keeps dues and remittance records current automatically. ILWU Local 13 used this capability to eliminate manual remittance processing entirely.

Yes. The Member Web Portal and the eMembership staff system share the same database in real time. Updates made by staff are immediately visible to members, and updates made by members are immediately available to staff. No manual syncing, no out-of-date member contact information, no angry members discovering that an address change was never transcribed.

Yes. Members can check union standing, manage training status, enroll in classes, update contact information, and pay dues through the Member Web Portal or Member Mobile App. Both pull from eMembership in real time. After deploying these tools, ILWU Local 13 saw a 40% drop in inbound member calls within 12 months.

Membership cards printed from eMembership include a QR code that employers can scan to instantly verify a member's union standing and training status. This eliminates the need to reprint cards or issue interim proof-of-training documents when a member's status changes, and gives employers real-time confidence that members are eligible to work.

Implementation begins with a Discovery Project that documents your local's current systems, dues structures, training requirements, and operational workflows. Data migration is included, whether you are moving from spreadsheets, a legacy database, or another union platform. Winmill builds in a preview environment so your team can review the configuration and migrated data before going live, and US-based support handles staff training and onboarding.
