		Some Labor Councils restrict their membership to organisations which are affiliated with a particular national trade union body, such as many Labor Councils in the U.S.A. which are chartered from the AFL-CIO national confederation.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: General Councils
		Councils are legally convened assemblies of ecclesiastical dignitaries and theological experts for the purpose of discussing and regulating matters of church doctrine and discipline.
		The council is, then, the assessor of the supreme teacher and judge sitting on the Chair of Peter by Divine appointment; its operation is essentially co-operation -- the common action of the members with their head -- and therefore necessarily rises or falls in value, according to the measure of its connection with the pope.
		The council's dignity is, therefore, not diminished, but increased, by the definition of papal infallibility, nor does that definition imply a "circular demonstration" by which the council would make the pope infallible and the pope would render the same service to the council.

		Unions in the US have, since the time of Samuel Gompers in 1920, opted to limit employee participation to health, safety, QWL, and productivity, leaving managers and owners to focus on financial management, strategy, and policy, with unions in control of grievances.

	The Harvard Crimson Online :: News
		Today, the University has almost 40 joint councils, and with a celebration of the union's fifth anniversary this week and the renewed support for joint councils in the second union contract approved January 7 this year, it might seem that "employee empowerment" is working.
		Despite some concrete achievements, however, the joint councils have a mandate more for discussion than for action, management is often still distant from workers and union members agree that not enough workers feel they are a part of the joint councils.
		There are 29 main joint councils at the University: one at each of the graduates schools and at Radcliffe, as well as 9 in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and several others representing central administrative departments, Harvard libraries and academic and non-academic centers and programs.

		Seats on the presidium of the council were held by the national heads of the Yugoslav trade unions and the presidents of regional trade union councils.
		The function of the unions was to preserve party influence by selecting the members of the workers' councils, to ensure that the enterprise was run according to the self-management laws, and to protect the working environment.
		Other poll results showed a lack of broad, active support of the unions, even among members; the majority of workers polled did not believe that the trade union system was a useful institution in representing their interests, and a small percentage of members took an active role in the organization.

	Grampian Credit Union - WELCOME
		When the Regional Council was split into the Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray Councils, GCU continued to serve their employees, along with those of some other organisations previously run under the Grampian Regional Council umbrella.
		The main difference between credit unions and other financial services is that the members own a credit union, and it is run purely for their benefit.
		Traditionally, credit unions were thought of as a ‘poor man’s bank’ since they have a history of providing financial services in low-income areas, where access to banks is limited.

	Scottish Left Review: Latest Issue
		The trade union movement has been, and is, at the heart of promoting the rights and interests of a range of communities — from refugees to asbestos victims, via gay people and single parents.
		In short, therefore, we need to work to re-build trades union councils, the bodies which bring union activists from different unions and different workplaces together, and link workers with those who live and work around them.
		This is an ironic situation, because it was a decision of the British TUC in 1895 to exclude trades councils from membership that led to the founding of the Scottish TUC in 1897.

	Feature: Performance Assessment
		Tory councils in the shires and some city enclaves applied it enthusiastically, whereas where in the mainly metropolitan councils controlled by Labour, resistance was greater, so that a combination of union and public pressure resulted in much more limited impact.

		When councillors are challenged by the unions as to why – since our services have already shown the capacity to improve – we need to transfer them to outside firms, they reply: we must explore whether improvement would be faster by their investment in computer systems and special knowledge of customer centred delivery.
