Help your contractors, win more bids.
Your market recovery program is how union contractors compete and win. UnionCM runs the whole thing in one place, so you can target the right jobs, move money fast, and put your members to work.
Your fund, working harder.
Market recovery levels the playing field: when a union contractor bids a targeted job, your fund helps close the gap so they can win it. Today that runs on spreadsheets, email chains, and paper checks. UnionCM turns it into a fast, trackable process your office can actually stay on top of.
Target the right jobs
Flag the projects worth competing for and follow each one from bid to award. Put your fund where it does the most good.
Approvals in hours, not weeks
Contractors apply online, your staff reviews and approves in a few clicks, and everyone can see where a request stands.
Every dollar accounted for
Each subsidy is tied to a job, a contractor, and an approval. Pull a clean record any time the board or an auditor asks.
More union work won
Faster answers mean stronger bids. Help your contractors say yes to more projects and keep your members on the job.

The job comes home
union.
When a union contractor can close the gap on a targeted job, the bid goes out competitive and the work stays in the hall. That is the whole point of the fund, and it only pays off if the money moves before the deadline.
What changes when the fund runs in one place.
The program itself does not change. The paperwork around it does.
| Area | Today | With UnionCM |
|---|---|---|
| Targeting a job | A conversation, then a spreadsheet living on one person's machine. | Flag the job and follow it from bid to award in one place. |
| A contractor applying | A paper packet, or an email chain with attachments. | The contractor requests a subsidy online in minutes. |
| Approvals | Signatures collected in person, over days or weeks. | Staff review and approve in a few clicks. |
| The audit trail | Rebuilt from email and receipts when someone asks for it. | Every subsidy ties to a job, a contractor, and an approval, already dated. |
What it connects to.
Market Recovery is the usual way into UnionCM. When your local adds the rest, everything runs off the same record.

- What is a market recovery fund?
- It is money a local puts up to help a signatory contractor close the gap on a targeted job, so the contractor can bid competitively and win the work. The local decides which jobs are worth competing for, reviews the contractor's request, releases the money, and keeps the record. Market recovery is also called job targeting.
- How fast can we get it running?
- Market Recovery is the fastest UnionCM package to deploy. We set it up around your fund's rules and aim to have your office running targeted jobs before your next round of bids.
- Does UnionCM hold our fund money?
- No. Fund money goes to your local's own bank and merchant account. UnionCM runs the workflow and keeps the record, and is never the merchant of record.
- Do we have to buy the whole platform to use it?
- No. Most locals start with Market Recovery and add the rest later. Nothing forces an all-at-once switch, and nothing gets rebuilt when you add a package.
