Your members are scattered. Your timeline is tight. Converso gets everyone on the same call.
Union business moves at the speed of a tentative agreement. Your members are on different shifts, in different cities, and at dozens of worksites — and a ratification deadline doesn't wait. Converso reaches every one of them by phone, live and two-way, within 48 hours of your call.
Most unions can't actually reach most of their members — and they know it.
Members work different shifts. They're spread across dozens of worksites, cities, and provinces. Most will never set foot in a general meeting. And when a tentative agreement lands on the table, the clock starts immediately.
We are the fastest path from tentative agreement to ratified contract.
When your bargaining team reaches a tentative agreement at 2 a.m., we can have a member town hall live within 48 hours. We'll call every number on your membership list, put your chief steward and lead negotiator on the line, take live questions from members across every worksite, and produce a full event record before the vote closes. We do this in English and in French. We do this 24/7. We've done it dozens of times for Canada's largest unions — and we can do it for yours.
Every type of union engagement, fully managed.
From a national ratification vote to a local education town hall — Converso handles every detail so your leadership focuses on the conversation, not the technology.
Ratification Votes
The most time-sensitive event in union life. We mobilize within 48–72 hours of a tentative agreement, call your full membership list, run a live Q&A with your negotiators, and produce a complete auditable vote record. Every ballot captured. Every result documented.
Explore Voting →Bargaining Updates
Keep members informed at every stage of negotiations — without pulling anyone off a shift. Telephone town halls bring your lead negotiator directly to members across every worksite, answer live questions, and keep trust high throughout a long bargaining round.
Explore Meetings →Strike Authorization Votes
A strike authorization vote requires speed, reach, and a defensible record. We reach every member — including those on leave, on nights, or in remote locations — conduct the vote live, and provide complete documentation. Every ballot counted. Every result timestamped.
Explore Voting →AGMs & Conventions
Annual general meetings and conventions with live delegate voting, real-time Q&A, and full participation for remote members. Convention delegate voting, bylaw amendments, executive elections — all conducted via telephone with a complete event record.
Explore Meetings →Executive Elections
Secure, secret-ballot executive elections conducted by telephone or hybrid — fully managed and independently auditable. Every vote counted, every result documented. Meet your constitutional requirements without the logistical burden of in-person voting.
Explore Voting →Emergency Member Communications
Workplace safety incidents, employer announcements, last-minute bargaining developments — when leadership needs to reach every member immediately, Converso deploys within hours. Voice broadcast, IVR, and SMS available around the clock, any day of the year.
Explore Emergency Response →AUPE — Alberta's largest union, and Converso's longest union partnership
The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees represents over 95,000 workers across every sector of Alberta's public service — from healthcare aides to correctional officers, child welfare workers to government administrators. No two members' schedules are alike. No single meeting can reach them all.
Since the beginning of our relationship, AUPE has brought Converso in for dozens of member town halls — bargaining updates, ratification votes, educational sessions, and emergency communications. When a tentative agreement is reached, AUPE knows that Converso can have members on the line within 48 hours, asking direct questions of the bargaining team, before the vote closes.
Every event is documented. Every vote is auditable. Every ratification has landed on time.

UFCW — Multiple locals, one reliable partner
The United Food and Commercial Workers union represents members in grocery, retail, food processing, cannabis, and health care across Canada. The challenge: members work in shifts, across hundreds of locations, and most will never set foot in a union hall for a general meeting.
Converso has worked with UFCW Local 401, Local 175, Local 832, and UFCW National. Each local faces the same core problem: a membership spread across dozens of worksites, working days, evenings, and overnight shifts — and a ratification process that can't wait for everyone to find a convenient time.
Telephone town halls solve this in a way no other channel can. A member working a 10 p.m. shift at a distribution centre in Winnipeg can listen live, ask a question of the bargaining team, and hear the answer before their break ends — without taking time off or driving to a meeting. The vote is auditable. The record is complete.
When UFCW locals need to move fast — and they almost always do — Converso is the phone call that makes it happen.
Hour 0: Tentative agreement reached. Your lead negotiator calls Converso.
Hours 1–4: We scope the membership list, confirm bilingual requirements, and draft the event script and moderator guide.
Hours 4–24: Pre-event outreach begins. Robocall and SMS to every member phone number announcing the town hall time and dial-in.
Hour 48: Live town hall. Members call in or are connected automatically. Bargaining team takes questions. Members vote.
Post-event: Full vote record, audio, transcript, and attendance report delivered to your team.
Plan your next ratification →Trusted by leaders across the Canadian labour movement.
Union leaders don't get second chances on ratification day. Converso's track record of zero event failures and full auditability is why Canada's largest unions come back, year after year.
"When a tentative agreement lands, we don't have time to figure out logistics. With Converso, we don't have to. They know our membership, they understand the urgency, and they deliver. Every time."
"Converso gives our members a real voice in the bargaining process — not just a flyer in their locker or a link to a website. A phone call that reaches them wherever they are, at whatever hour they're working, with a chance to ask a real question. That's member engagement done right."
"Our members are in grocery stores, food processing plants, and distribution centres across three provinces. Getting them all into a meeting room isn't possible. Getting them all on the same phone call is — and Converso makes it seamless."
You lead the conversation. We handle everything else.
Converso is not a platform your communications team configures. It's a fully managed service — staffed by experienced professionals from the first planning call to the final auditable event record.
