What councils actually do...

A few posts back, Ade mentioned vacancies on quite a few of the union's industrial councils and then said he's not quite sure exactly what councils do.

In my rather limited experience on the new media industrial council, we basically have meetings, talk about what needs doing, and then go away and do it. And have another meeting. And so on.

I'm sure HQ can provide a formal explanation of the role of councils if anyone is desperately keen to know. But there are vacancies on the ethics council, amongst others, so if you feel strongly about industry issues in those areas then joining a council is your opportunity to have a say...

PS
I'm writing this in the pub just before our May meeting, and just realised I left all the bloomin' paperwork at home. Darn it.
