  • The grievance checklist and deadline tracker

    A free steward resource, no product in it: intake, the six Ws, and a due date for every stage. Fillable PDF or print. The procedure it tracks is explained in the grievance procedure guide.

    Open it

  • A note for your union office

    Short and in plain language, so you can send it on directly.

    AviChat is a contract reference tool that lets members ask questions about our collective agreement in plain language and get answers with the article and section cited. The union owns and controls everything: the content, the data, and who has access. The employer has no access and no involvement of any kind. Their team sets it up, and officers review every section before members start using it. Details are at avichat.ca if it's worth raising at a meeting.

  • Answers to the questions you'll get asked

    Reps, privacy, cost, control and grey areas.

    Read them

How to bring it up

Three steps. You don't need to be an officer, and you don't need to explain the technology.

  1. 1

    Send the note to your union office.

    Copy the note above, or forward the kit email. It's written for them, so you don't have to explain the product yourself.

  2. 2

    Bring the one-pager to your next meeting.

    Raise it at a membership meeting or with your executive board. When someone asks “but is it safe?”, hand them the security overview.

  3. 3

    Suggest a 15-minute walkthrough.

    Your officers see AviChat running on a real agreement and ask their own questions. You're welcome to sit in.

It takes the lookups. The judgment stays with you.

AviChat answers only from your agreement, and it declines anything outside the contract, pointing the member to their steward.

Lookup work it handles

  • Finding what an article says
  • Routine questions, with a cited answer
  • Any hour, on any phone

Judgment work that stays with you

  • Whether it's worth a grievance
  • How to argue it
  • When to push

The questions you'll get asked

Short answers you can give in a meeting, with the longer reading linked where it exists.

“Is this AI replacing our reps?”

No. It declines anything outside the contract and points members to their steward. A contract tool handles lookup work, finding what an article says, while judgment work stays with the steward: whether a situation is worth a grievance, how to argue it, and when to push. The full answer, including what unions are winning in AI contract language.

“Who sees my searches?”

Not your employer, and not your union's leadership: they see topic-level patterns only, never who asked what. The answer log holds questions and citations with no personal information. Member identity is encrypted and kept apart, in a restricted record used only for legal verification, such as confirming the disclaimer a member saw. How to check that claim for any vendor, plus the other risks leadership will ask about.

“What does it cost members?”

Nothing. The union subscribes as an organization.

“Who controls it?”

The union, entirely: the content, the data, and who has access.

“Our agreement is huge and full of grey areas. Can it handle that?”

That's the agreement it was built for. Every deployment is a custom implementation: our engineering team breaks down every document, then works through the grey areas with the union's officers before anything goes live.

Most unions that work with us started with one member who brought it up. That can be you.

Then forward it to your union office. It's everything they need to take a look.
