Amendment management for trade unions
A union congress means resolutions and hundreds of amendments filed by branches before the session. Amendly structures that volume around the reference text and gives delegates a consolidated version that stays current.
The volume outgrows the spreadsheet
Amendments arrive from branches by email, often in bulk, in the final days. Sorting them by resolution and article is a headache, and a single copy error can distort what goes to the delegates’ vote.
Without a clear history, it is hard to justify why an amendment was merged, dropped, or reworded, when transparency toward branches is a core expectation of union life.
How it works
- 1
Post the resolutions
Each resolution submitted to the congress serves as the reference text for the amendments attached to it.
- 2
Collect branch amendments
Branches file amendments tied to the relevant article, with author and reason.
- 3
Discuss and group
Similar amendments are grouped, reactions are centralised, and the resolutions committee prepares its proposals.
- 4
Consolidate
Accepted amendments produce a current consolidated version, with a record of the changes.
- 5
Export for delegates
Give delegates a clear document per resolution, ready for debate and vote.
