“I am excited about the new Roles Feature of Toolbox. It’s going to take the database work of Internal Organizing to a whole new level. Once again NUWS is responsive to the needs of organizing unions and is always on the cutting edge of database management.”

Felisa Hagins
Political Director, SEIU Local 49

...Perfect for Internal and External campagins

“We have been using the Organizers Toolbox for internal and external campaigns and couldn’t imagine doing the work without NUWS - it has been a lifesaver!”

April Rebello
Organizing Director, SPEEA IFPTE Local 2001

...organizing background combined with technical expertise

“Your organizing background combined with technical expertise is something I know we would be hard-pressed to find in any other company. Organizers were able to input changes and produce worker lists, wall charts, house visit sheets, and GOTV lists in short turnaround without any technical glitches.”

LaDawna Howard
Organizing Coordinator, SEIU Western Region Organizing Department

...ambitious goals for growth, and NUWS helps make them possible

“Without NUWS, SEIU could never have tackled the kind of aggressive, system-wide organizing campaigns that build power in our key industries.  We have ambitious goals for growth, and NUWS helps make them possible.”

Jim Philiou
Local Union Organizing Director, SEIU International

...helped us win campaigns to increase membership

“Before purchasing the Organizer’s Toolbox we evaluated several other options.  The Toolbox was the only once that combined everything we needed into one comprehensive organizing database.  OT is a key tool that has helped us win campaigns to increase membership and build bargaining power.”

Iain Gold
Director, Strategic Research and Campaigns, IBT International

...speaks our langauge and knows what we want

“NUWS is prepared for the next step of our campaign before we are.  If we decide to change strategy, the Organizers Toolbox is ready for us.  NUWS speaks our langauge and knows what we want, even when we aren’t sure ourselves.”

Peter Olney
Organizing Director, ILWU

...I alway know exactly where our assessments stand

“Organizer’s Toolbox helps organizers who don’t have time to figure out computers.  Staff can update and get reports on campaigns with very little effort so they can spend more time in the field.  I alway know exactly where our assessments stand so I can make quick strategic decisions.”

Meg Niemi
Organizing Director, SEIU Local 49

...it's worth it

“This is the program and the people to work with if you are going to organize a group of any size. The Organizer’s Toolbox has been developed through a lot of real experience and the people who put it together and support it really understand what we need. Get it as soon as you can...it’s worth it.”

Scott Washburn
Organizing Coordinator, SEIU International

...the capabilities of the system seem never-ending

“What a thrill!  Enter something once and the information is now in every part of your Organizer’s Toolbox—housecall sheets, handcharts, wall charts, GOTV info… which was always a pain in the ass with just Access.  And the capabilities of the system seem never-ending, especially since NUWS encourage feedback, and updates are easily available.  ‘Can I have a list of all the Caucasian males who are scared about strikes, work the night shift, are dating members of our union and live on map page 954 or 955?’ Takes five seconds.  Wonderful!”
