UNITE HERE is a North American labor union that represents over 300,000 service and hospitality workers. To secure better benefits and protections for workers, negotiators must find related labor contracts with precedents they can reference at the bargaining table. To help negotiators retrieve, compare and analyze contracts, the Clinic team designed a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) system based on a locally implemented LLM with clear citations and end-to-end privacy.
