Bargaining work changes meaning as it moves from a personal draft to reviewed wording and an exchanged package. The dedicated workspace preserves those decisions. Begin with a named round and restricted responsibilities rather than sharing a general folder of competing documents.
Step 01
Establish scope and starting material
Identify the bargaining unit, agreement context, round team and permitted source material. Review imported issues before activation where the supported import applies. Use round search and issue organization to find the relevant proposal; a restricted meeting link must preserve the round’s access boundary.
Step 02
Review the exact wording and package
Keep personal drafts distinct from immutable wording versions. Each version has one language; do not infer an automatically paired translation. Compare the wording being approved with the package that will be exchanged, then retain tabling or exchange evidence for that exact material. Costing and comparables support review without replacing it.
Step 03
Record the outcome and next authority
Record settlement and ratification evidence through the supported append-only records. Identify what still requires agreement publication or another authorized step. An approved member update is a separate communication hand-off. Neither a recorded settlement nor a ratification result silently activates the agreement.
