were all a few clicks away.
"We
looked at several other grievance management systems,
the system by LabourWare was by far the friendliest and
most complete system we saw. It follows our
workflow and makes it easier for our Stewards to stay on
top of our heavy grievance workload. Gabe and the
rest of the LabourWare staff have been very
accommodating and responsive to our queries. it
has made for a quick and painless transition from our
old system to this automated system."
