What a union local website needs to do
Show who you represent, how to reach a steward or officer, events and public resources, and how a worker can ask about membership. Keep the tone straightforward, and keep private member materials in tools you already use.
Members often visit to find one thing, such as a meeting date or a form. Clear navigation with a short list of the most requested items saves staff time and keeps members informed.
People searching for a union local usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
