      ab: Part of a special section on technological change and employment conditions in traditionally heavily unionized industries. The writers present a qualitative analysis of the impact of unionization on the adoption of a new technology in coal mining, specifically, the application of real-time control systems technology to automated mining engineering equipment. Their findings reveal that unions may represent a barrier to the adoption and use of new technologies, implying that further scrutiny of the relationship between union activity and technological change is required.
