- A seniority list of your workers (if applicable).
- The contract and any side letters.
- Local union constitution and bylaws.
- Management's personnel manual, if there is one (or any other employer policies in printed form). Civil service rules (if applicable).
- An organization chart of managers and supervisors.
- Organizing materials for new members, including authorization cards, copies of the contract, your union's Web site and email address, and your union' s constitution and bylaws.
- Grievance investigation forms.
- COPE (political action) materials.
