Newbook legal support solutions aim to enhance research, knowledge sharing, collaboration and communication in order to provide negotiating teams the means to better analyze past and current collective agreements. This allows local bargaining teams to build stronger cases for positions on issues under negotiation, resulting in more effective negotiations and better agreements for their members.

Collective Bargaining System
Newbook’s Collective Bargaining System is a collaborative authoring and knowledge sharing solution that supports the collective bargaining process. Features of the system include:

• a Collective Agreements Library, that provides powerful topic-based and full-text searching of all current and historical collective agreements,
• a Virtual Bargaining Book, that structures the negotiation process of collective bargaining, including the ability to generate proposals that are tabled for discussion and the ability to generate reports on negotiations, useful for internal review or distribution to the general membership
• a Reference Library, that provides a searchable repository for storing reference and supporting material related to collective bargaining and negotiations
• a User Management Module, that provides a secure environment for sensitive collective bargaining information and role-based permissions that allow for fine control over who may do what in the system

The system is server-based, providing a central location for all information and a central management point. It has a web-based end user interface that is accessible from any PC connected to the Internet.
