The Greater Southeastern Massachusetts Labor Council (GSMLC) of the AFL-CIO represents over 50 unions in its area. The council's administrative coordinator was using an obsolete Microsoft Word mailing list as a database before he saw ODB at a local technology demonstration. In 2003, the organization paid $200 for a 2-hour consultation and support contract with Organizers' Collaborative and has been operating ODB ever since. The software is used to contact and organize its delegates and board members, administrators of affiliate unions and maintain information on local politicians and media outlets. They have also been able to track delegate activity and eliminate inactive delegates (over half of the original records) from the old database. ODB has allowed the council to consistently keep their new database up-to-date.
