# MyCBA (Syndiscore LLC)

> MyCBA is the complete labor union operating system — MyCBA Engine-powered contract Q&A, deadline-aware grievance management, steward training, and a member self-service portal in one platform. Built by a 20-year union practitioner for the 60,000+ US locals that have been overlooked by enterprise union software.

## What MyCBA does
- **Contract Q&A (MyCBA Engine):** Upload any collective bargaining agreement. Stewards and members ask questions in plain English ("Does my CBA allow mandatory overtime?") and get the exact article and section back with the source clause quoted.
- **Grievance management:** Filing, tracking, deadline calculation that respects weekends and federal holidays, step management (Step 1 → arbitration), inbound email capture (management replies land on the grievance automatically), and arbitration prep.
- **Steward training:** Weingarten scenarios, just cause quizzes, Loudermill prep, Steward Hub with case-method scenarios.
- **Member self-service portal:** Incident journal, grievance advisor, meeting prep, request tracking, dues status, contract search.
- **Dues tracker:** Per-shop rates (flat / percent / hours-of-pay), payment recording, exemptions, delinquency status, full-time vs part-time amounts, universal rates across all shops.
- **In-app messaging:** Admin/organizer-driven messages to stewards, members, or both. Internal, email, and SMS delivery channels. Steward meeting scheduling visible to all stewards.
- **Multi-workspace:** A federation, an International, or a multi-shop local manages every bargaining unit from one dashboard with hard tenant isolation.
- **Multi-language:** English, Español, Kreyòl Ayisyen.

## Who it's for
