Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Shostak maps out a plan for organized labor to use the full range of information technology to transform its organizational culture, refine its focus, and re-invent its mission.

Book News Annotation:

Shostak (sociology, Drexel U.) examines conventional uses unions are making of computers; presents three models of computer use by unions; outlines a detailed plan for how unions should be using computers; and explores the role certain change-agents are now playing in advancing Labor's computerization process. The volume integrates a series of quotes and extensive readings by labor union activists showing how computers are being used.
