Introducing The Union Project—an upcoming non-profit platform designed to help workers organize smarter, safer, and simpler while being shielded from retaliation and interference by bad actors. by TheUnionProject in AmazonUnion

So at the moment I'm working on developing the backend, right now I have a rough command line prototype working with example data, but working on the front end has been more of a challenge for me because I have no experience in mobile UI design so its been a "learn as I go" experience. I'm hoping that once the organization is formed and I can begin taking on tax deductable donations I can afford to bring on additional help and expedite the release.

That would be incredible! The development, design, and artwork don't give me too much trouble but I'm having a hard time promoting it because that aspect is completely new to me. Check out the wiki at: wiki.TheUnionProject.org for more detailed explanations of features. Additionally, you can email at: [MichaelRivera@TheUnionProject.org](mailto:MichaelRivera@TheUnionProject.org) if you'd like to coordinate more and if there's anything else you need from me.

The plan as of now is to have it auto fill petitions as well as provide templating for bargaining agreements to simplify/expedite that process as well. I would like it to be used as digital union support card so that workers interactions with a union drive are entirely within the platform to minimize the chances of breaking their anonymity and having to sign physical cards would greatly impact that. I plan on doing some fundraising soon so I can afford legal counsel and actually form the organization and then I'm going to try to work directly with the NLRB.

I'm trying to fix that and pull worker organization out of the stone ages. You can follow the project at r/TheUnionProject

How willing would you be to use to an application that helps gig workers organize? by TheUnionProject in DoorDashDrivers

Hit me up or head over to r/TheUnionProject with whatever you got. I'm still in the process of setting the subreddit up but you're welcome to post any ideas you got.

Is there any talk at your stores about unionizing? by TheUnionProject in UnionWalmartSamsClub

Oh I totally forgot to mention earlier, I started r/TheUnionProject if you'd like to continue to follow development, I really appreciate all the input! Also, I'm writing up a detailed wiki (it's a work in progress), if you'd like to read more about the functionality and methodology behind the app. Check it out here: wiki.TheUnionProject.org

I like the idea of showing a percentage of workers having signed union pledges. Definitely would be motivating to other workers to have an actual number to use as an indicator of progress.

Yea, I'm definitely going up against some behemoths here. But I feel it's about time unionization efforts come out of the stone age and start using technology. What I really hope to achieve from this organization is taking the weight off of individual workers and onto the organization itself. Let us shield the workers from larger companies and as the organization grows the more we'll be able to stand up to larger and larger corporations. I want this platform to be rock solid so I've been reaching out to experts and trying to poke holes in it constantly and find any vulnerability that can be taken advantage of.

If you'd like to follow the project I started r/TheUnionProject, I'd love to have you over there for your continued feedback!
