Every grievance, every deadline, one system of record.
Article9 runs the whole case: the Article 8 notice, the filing, the response clock, the elevation to Step 2, the pre-arbitration docket, the referral package. Filings quote the agreement's actual text. Nothing lapses because someone lost count.

Deadlines computed, not remembered
Every window derives from the governing agreement, with extension history and a clock the rep can see from the dashboard.
Citations verified before filing
A quote that can't be matched to its source document is flagged, not filed. Verification travels with the case into the PAR deck.
One region, one docket
Locals work their own cases; the region sees all of them by stage, by deadline, by facility, and can step into any facility to help.
Proof of notice, on the record
Automated reminders to management at five days and on the due date, each downloadable as a PDF record of what was sent, to whom, when.
The platform
Nine modules. One case record.
A region licenses the base platform and turns on what it runs. Everything writes to the same case file, so an Article 8 matter that becomes a Step 1 grievance that lands at pre-arbitration never gets re-keyed.
Grievance case management
One record per case: stage, articles cited, management official, documents, timeline, outcome. Step 1 through Step 2, elevation, resolution, archive.
Deadline engine
Filing and response windows computed from the agreement, extensions recorded, and automated reminders to management with stored proof of notice.
Article 8 matters
The pre-grievance track: draft and send the notice, log the response, read its essence, then grieve to Step 1 or 2 with documents carried forward, or close it resolved.
Drafting with verified citations
Plain-English facts become a filing-ready grievance. Every quoted provision is matched against the source text; anything unmatched is marked unverified, never quietly shipped.
Discipline defense
A stepped workspace from proposal letter to final decision: enclosures classified, dates recorded, and a rules engine that computes notice and Weingarten questions from those dates.
Pre-arbitration review
The regional docket: sessions and agendas, abeyance, presenter assignment, presentation decks that export to PowerPoint, decisions recorded, and a win-rate scorecard.
Referral packages
Send a decided case onward as one assembled package: cover letter, table of contents, a tab per case with the analysis and the full document record, delivered by email or secure link.
Legal research
One search across FLRA, MSPB, the courts, and the region's own precedent, ranked by similarity to the case in front of you, with the record's own outcomes attached.
Regional analytics
Facility breakdown, most-cited articles, average response lateness by facility, and a management accountability index that surfaces repeat offenders.
How it works
One case, start to finish.
The rep never leaves the case file, and the case never loses its history. Each stage below is a real screen in the product.
- 1
Article 8 notice
The rep opens a matter, drafts the notice against the orders they select, and emails it from the facility's own address. The clock starts on send.
Notice sentAwaiting response - 2
Response and analysis
Management's answer is uploaded, read, and reduced to its essence: resolved, or grievable. A case analysis drafts from the record and the reference library.
Response receivedGrievable - 3
Grieve to Step 1
One action files the grievance with the matter's narrative, parties, and documents already in place. The response window is computed and put on the dashboard.
Open · Step 1 - 4
Elevate to Step 2
Sustained on the violation but counter-offered on the remedy is a visible state, and the reason to elevate. Draft the Step 2, or record a filing that already happened.
SustainedCounter-offered - 5
Pre-arbitration docket
The case joins the regional docket, gets a session and presenters, and a presentation deck compiles from the analysis, with quotes carried only where verified.
Elevated to PARScheduled - 6
Decision, archive, precedent
The decision is recorded, the case archives with its outcome, and it becomes searchable precedent for the next rep who asks the same question.

Security and access
Case files are the most sensitive thing a local holds.
Access is scoped to the facility by default and every consequential action is written to an audit log the region can read. Nothing about a member's discipline leaves the people entitled to see it.
