“A bland sounding term, ‘report’. But in the labour movement it is charged with meaning. The union official who reports to a meeting is communicating with a certain weight of trust - the news that he has, the story that he carries, is a measure of his own diligence and resolve, on the one hand; and on the other, evidence that there is an audience, a body of other men, who take it upon themselves to listen.” - from ‘Sitting In’ by Barry Hill (1991).
