| Sumario: | Part of a special section on how new technologies influence the employment relationship. The writer notes that cyber technology has been proposed as the panacea for Old Unionism, the expansion of the New Unionism, and to promote the labor movement's political power. He argues that it is unlikely that the use of cyberspace will stop or reverse the ebb of Old Unionism, and he also argues that the union position on political matters will face competition from other sources on the Internet. He concludes that although cyber technology cannot mend the decline in the popularity of Old Unionism, it could be used to enhance the unions' political investment in the Democratic Party.
