Every wage obligation, grievance deadline, and labor requirement, extracted consistently across every agreement, every time.
The challenge
Collective Bargaining Agreements establish highly procedural frameworks for wages, benefits, work rules, grievance procedures, and dispute resolution. The consequences of misreading them are immediate. Payroll errors, missed grievance deadlines, incorrectly applied discipline procedures, and overlooked management rights restrictions can each trigger disputes, arbitration exposure, or compliance failures before a gap is even identified.
The solution
Apply the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) Question List to the agreement and its related documents like amendments, side letters, and wage schedules. Ask iManage extracts union scope, wage and benefit obligations, scheduling and overtime rules, grievance and arbitration procedures, discipline protections, and renewal term, returning structured, citation-backed outputs so teams can validate obligations directly against the source agreement and manage procedural risk with confidence.
