Teamsters Local Union 357 internal communication mobile app for flight deck crews

Teamsters Local Union 357 provides representation, assistance, and security for flight deck crew members employed by Republic Airline. Headquartered in Plainfield, Indiana, they support over 2,000 pilots based in cities across the country. With a mission to protect and enhance the careers of their members, they decided to partner with RocketBuild to design and develop a mobile application to improve workplace communication. Local 357 had a need to communicate frequently with crew members about job critical information. In the past, their internal communication strategy revolved around a blog with low-readership. That communication plan was draining time and energy without having much impact. The decision to move towards mobile app technology for internal communications was made to more effectively reach pilots that are constantly on the go.
