You built it.
You earned it.
You just can't see it.
Your union life runs through ten or twelve different logins: payroll, the pension fund, the health fund, the training center, your local's own site, plus whatever quarterly statement or pay stub showed up in the mail this month. None of it talks to each other, and most people don't find out something's wrong until it's too late to fix it. Steward is the one place that reads all of it and tells you the second something doesn't match.
Built for every trade on the job: UA, IBEW, IUOE, and ten more of the fourteen building trades.
Never sold. Never shared. Deletable anytime.
The information exists.
It's just never put together.
Between third-party administrators, fund offices, and union portals, some members juggle as many as ten logins, plus statements arriving by mail and email.
The health fund knows your banked hours. The pension office knows your credits. The JATC knows your OJT. No one holds the whole picture.
A benefit you don't know about is a benefit you don't have.
What's at stake when no one's tracking it.
Coverage lapses before anyone notices.
Union health plans run on banked hours. When work slows and the bank runs low, a family can lose coverage they already earned, and find out at the pharmacy counter.
Shows your hour bank like a fuel gauge. When you're two months from losing coverage, you know.
An apprentice's raise stalls over missing hours.
OJT hours don't always make it from the contractor to the JATC. A few unrecorded weeks can hold back a raise, or a journeyman card, for months.
Compares what the contractor reported with what you actually worked. The gap is flagged, with the exact dates to bring to your coordinator.
A pension shortfall surfaces years too late.
Contributions get under-reported. The gap compounds quietly. By the time it's caught, the missing credits are hard to recover.
Audits every contribution against your hours, month by month. You catch the gap in week one, not at retirement.
Written for a lawyer, not for the person doing the work.
Pull out any fund statement or CBA. It's not written for you. It's written to survive a legal challenge. That's true whether English is your first language or not, and worse if it isn't: roughly a third of construction workers are Hispanic or Latino, many more comfortable in Spanish.
Ask Steward a direct question, English or Spanish, and it answers from the actual document you uploaded. Not a summary. Your document, your numbers, your answer.
One picture. Yours.
Upload the documents you already get. Steward reads them, lines them up, and shows you exactly where you stand.
Upload any paystub, CBA, wage sheet, or fund statement. Steward reads it, no manual sorting.
Every fund in one place: health, pension, annuity, vacation, with what's contributed, what's banked, and what's still missing a statement.
See your standing, log payments, get reminded before anything's late.
Certifications tracked automatically, whatever your trade's cards are: OSHA, welding certs, crane licenses, abatement, confined space, rigging. Snap a photo, Steward reads the type and the dates.
A plain-language question about your contract or your numbers, in English or Spanish, answered from your own verified records.

Three minutes. On your lunch break.
Checking what you've earned used to mean hours after a 10-hour shift: logins, phone calls, statements you can't make sense of. Steward does it in three minutes. No login. No paperwork.
What you can try: switch personas and see your own trade and local · scan a paystub and watch Steward check it against your CBA · ask Steward a plain-language question, in English or Spanish, and get an answer pulled straight from your documents.
Built by people who've done the work.
Steward's team has spent years inside the systems this app reads: the CBAs, the fund statements, the JATC paperwork. We've seen apprentices held back by a few unrecorded hours, and journeymen unsure if their 401(k) numbers were even right. Checking what you've earned shouldn't take longer than earning it.
We're not a broker or an insurance seller. We're your pocket record, a second set of eyes on what you've already earned. Steward organizes what's scattered and puts it in your hands. It never advises, and it never decides.
We're choosing a small number of pilot partners now, locals that get direct input before this rolls out wider.
Apply for Pilot Access.
We're working with a small number of locals this cycle, enough to get direct input before this rolls out wider. If Steward's a fit for your hall, we want to hear from you.
Whether your local is UA, IBEW, LIUNA, or any of the other building trades, Steward reads your CBA and your funds the same way.
