Guild and union intake that captures grievance deadlines up front
Ask upfront whether the dispute involves lost work, pay, or benefits, whether a grievance or hearing deadline falls within 60 days, and whether the union operates in the United States — plus any written notices already on file.

The questions your team needs answered
Every guild and union matters intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is your issue mainly about a union or guild in entertainment, sports, or media (for example, joining, membership status, dues, discipline, or union rules)? | Confirms the dispute is actually about union or guild rules rather than a general employment or contract issue outside the guild's control. |
| Are you a performer, writer, director, crew member, athlete, broadcaster, or other worker in entertainment, sports, or media (or applying to work in that field)? | Establishes that the person works or is applying to work in a guild-covered role, which determines whether the union has any jurisdiction at all. |
| Is the union or guild you’re dealing with based in the United States or does it cover work performed in the United States? | Screens for US-based or US-covered unions, since jurisdiction outside that scope usually falls outside standard practice. |
| Did the problem happen within the last 12 months, or is there an upcoming deadline (like a hearing, election, or grievance deadline) in the next 60 days? | Flags matters with a hearing, election, or grievance deadline inside 60 days that need faster attorney attention. |
| Can you identify the union/guild and the local, and at least one person or office you dealt with (or have written notices/emails about it)? | Shows whether there's an identifiable local and contact person, which affects how quickly the facts can be verified. |
| Has this issue affected your work opportunities, pay, benefits, credits, or your ability to work on union-covered jobs? | Highlights whether the dispute has real financial or career consequences — pay, benefits, credits, or eligibility to work — rather than a purely procedural question. |
| Are you looking for legal help (advice, a letter, negotiation, or representation) rather than only general information? | Separates people seeking actual legal help from those only looking for general information about how guild rules work. |

Built for guild and union matters workflows
| Cliont capability | Guild And Union Matters application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring | Weighs whether the dispute has affected pay, benefits, credits, or work eligibility more heavily than a simple membership question, so matters with real financial stakes surface first. |
| Document upload capture | Prompts for written notices, emails, or grievance letters referenced in the intake before the lead is marked complete, so you're not starting from a blank file. |
| CRM routing | Sends only matters confirming US union jurisdiction and genuine interest in representation (not just information) into your CRM, keeping thin inquiries out of your pipeline. |
| Conditional question logic | Surfaces the union name, local, and deadline together, so you can see at a glance whether a hearing or election is imminent before you decide to offer time. |
Common guild and union matters lead scenarios
Active grievance with a hearing date
A crew member facing discipline from a US-covered local has a hearing inside 60 days and can name who they dealt with. This combination of jurisdiction, timing, and documentation scores highest.
Membership dispute, no paper trail
A prospective client raises a dues or membership status issue but can't name a local contact or produce any notices. The intake still captures the issue but flags thin documentation.
Union with no US coverage
The guild involved doesn't cover work performed in the United States, which lowers fit even if the underlying dispute sounds serious.
Information-only inquiry
Someone wants a general explanation of how union discipline works rather than a letter, negotiation, or representation, which the intake weighs differently from an actual retainer-ready lead.
Old issue, no live deadline
The problem happened over a year ago with no hearing, election, or grievance deadline coming up, so the intake registers lower urgency even if the facts are strong.

Guild and Union Matters lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell a union dispute apart from a general contract dispute?
The first question confirms the issue is mainly about union or guild rules — membership, dues, discipline, or similar — rather than a broader employment or talent-agreement question that belongs with a different intake.
What happens if a prospective client can't name the local or produce any notices yet?
The intake still records the matter, but weak documentation on that question lowers the score relative to leads that already have a named contact or written correspondence.
Does the intake screen out unions that don't operate in the United States?
Yes — the jurisdiction question checks whether the union is based in or covers work performed in the United States, which is weighted heavily since that's a threshold fit issue for most practices.
How is this different from the NCAA and NIL Compliance or Sports Contracts and Agency intakes?
This catalog is built around union/guild membership, discipline, and grievance issues specifically, not eligibility compliance or agency contract terms, so leads that are really about NIL rules or agent agreements won't score as strong fits here.
What if someone just wants general information, not actual representation?
That's a direct question in the intake, and answering that only information is wanted (rather than advice, a letter, negotiation, or representation) pulls the score down since it signals a non-billable inquiry.
How does the intake capture urgency around a hearing or election deadline?
One question directly asks whether the issue happened in the last 12 months or whether a hearing, election, or grievance deadline falls in the next 60 days, and a yes here carries meaningful weight.
