Member records and grievances for union locals, without the spreadsheet.
Candoa keeps your roster, your contracts, and every grievance with its deadlines in one place. Import the spreadsheet you have today and be running in an afternoon.
Or look around a sample local first, no account neededOne roster, always current
Every member with their employer, worksite, dues class, and a status history you can trust.
Every grievance, on the clock
File a case, move it through your procedure step by step, and never miss a deadline. Print the grievance form straight from the case.
Start from the spreadsheet you have
Upload a CSV, match the columns once, and Candoa creates employers and classifications on the fly.
Staff sign in as themselves
Invite organizers and office staff by email. Each person gets their own login and permission.
Add what you need, when you need it
Start with your members. Turn on grievances when you're ready. More add-ons arrive one at a time, and each one switches on without touching the rest.

Rosters
Check the list an employer sends against the members you have on file, and decide what to do about every difference.
- Add-ons
Communications
Email and text your members from Candoa, one at a time or all at once, and keep every message, reply, and call on their record.
- Add-ons
Member portal
Give members a page of their own: their record as you have it, their contract, their dues, and your announcements, with a way to ask for a change.
- Add-ons
Meetings
Keep track of every meeting your local holds and who was there, and know who is in good standing and may run for office.
- Add-ons
Automations
Routine work done for you: say what you want in a sentence, and Candoa does it from then on, asking first until you have seen it be right.
Ask Eli, and it does the work
Ask who is behind on dues, what a contract says about overtime, or how to file a grievance. Eli reads your own records and your own contracts, shows you what it found, and asks before it changes anything.

One price, set by the size of your local
A monthly price for each member you represent today, and less for every member past the first hundred. Each add-on is 30% of that, or take every add-on for the same again. No setup fee, and no charge for staff accounts.
You pay for the members you have
Active and on-leave members count. Retirees, withdrawn and suspended members, non-members, and your history are free.
Try each add-on free for 14 days
No card needed. If your executive board needs longer to decide, extend it once.
Your price holds for the year
We count your roster when you sign up and at renewal, never in between. A renewal raises your price by at most half again, and a smaller roster pays less straight away.
Bring your records over
Import your spreadsheet yourself, or send it to us and we'll move your records for you.
About $0.64 a member a month.

Your local's records stay yours
What a treasurer and an executive board will ask before moving member records into anything new.
Take your data with you
Download your roster with every field, your employers, any report, or everything your local has put in as one ZIP of spreadsheets, whenever you want, even if a payment fails.
Each person sees only what you allow
Staff sign in as themselves and can turn on two-step sign-in. Permissions decide who can edit, export, or open grievances, and access can be limited to chosen employers.
Every change is on the record
A member's record shows every change to a field, who made it, and when. Turning an add-on off keeps everything in it.
Stored in the United States
Your records are kept in a US data center and travel over encrypted connections.
Talk to us
Ask us anything — whether Candoa suits the way your local runs, what it takes to bring your records over, or what it would cost. A local above 5,000 members is priced by conversation, starting at $1,649 a month, so if that's you, say how many members you have and we'll come back with a number.
