OpenConcept has experience serving national labour unions and regional locals across Canada. We have supported union in providing user/content support, technical support, customized bilingual content management systems as well as server admin support over the years. Our staff also has personal experience as union members and within a local's executive. We have a good understanding of the needs of unions in Canada and look forward to opportunities to support this important social movement.

  • Are you looking to organize communication with your membership?
  • Is your local preparing to go on strike?
  • Do you need a way to organize communication away from the prying eyes of management?
  • Need an easy way to manage participation in upcoming events?
  • Want a new website to allow you to interact more with your members

If you want to know more, talk to us about how we can help to:

  • Set up your membership in CiviCRM
  • Create newsfeeds for your site so that your members can get the highlights from you easily.
  • Provide either eNewsletters or traditional mailing lists for email communications
  • Create a Yahoo Groups type interface for your union to communicate internally
  • Set up permissions structures so that you can keep managment in the dark
  • Add on blogs so that your members can share their experiences
  • Allow members to share files
  • Create a community wiki to facilitate communications

Let us know, we can help!
