Does the term "workers' council" refer to:
a) The face-to-face workplace based assembly of everyone who works there, where "management" decisions are made democratically by the whole workforce.
b)Meetings of delegates from various workplaces
c)Both?
Its just I get a bit confused. I hear some people, like those Parecon fellows, using the term to refer to both a) and b), whilst I've read other things where they use the term to mean one but not the other.
Boring semantics really, but if you feel like lending a hand to a neurotic but harmless pedant I would very much appreciate it.
I think b. I really shouldn't have posted, though
(can't remember where I get this from, don't have all my notes at the moment...)
edit: 2 meaning of "council"
A An assembly of persons called together for consultation, deliberation, or discussion.
B A body of people elected or appointed to serve as administrators, legislators, or advisors
Maybe the answer is "either"
