Dear Labor Union Organizer,
 
Can you answer all these critical questions with a Yes?
  • Are you turning your membership out consistently in numbers to be effective?
  • Are you getting the visibility that your union needs in order to have the clout that is required to truly serve the needs of your membership?
  • Can you effectively mobilize your membership on short notice even with limited manpower?
  • Can you produce productivity reports on each picket line?
The answers to these questions are critical.  If any of your answers was No, we can get you to Yes!
 

The Mandatory Picketing System (MPMS) is a custom written computer program designed to make managing picket activity a breeze. The system was designed to select each eligible member impartially and efficiently. It does this by:

  • Selecting members Random or,

  • Selecting them by Local or,

  • By Proximity to the picket site or,

  • By Political affiliation, etc.

Presently the system serves Locals in NY, NJ and PA, and can be customized to further meet your exact needs. MPMS is user friendly and it can be accessed concurrently from different workstations if you have a network.
 

 

Here's how MPMS works in 4 Easy Steps!

Members selected from database fairly and impartially.
 

 

Name, address and Picket Line location printed via high speed postcard printer.
