| Sumario: | The writers discuss what action labor must take in order to influence technology issues. They contend that labor must become involved proactively in design, distribution, and work organization. They note that from their experience a company can negate a generation of organizing and collective bargaining by redesigning the technology of the workplace. They maintain that unions must define an alternative vision of how production could be organized in order to ensure lasting victories, preserve the role of human skill and experience in production, and save good jobs. They conclude that unions must struggle to achieve this vision in the decision making arenas of government and private enterprise. |
