This book studies the reactions and responses of labor and management to technological change both historically and in the most recent industrial disputes. Instances of arbitration and collective bargaining agreements are cited to demonstrate solutions that labor and management have found to deal with the problem.
Attention is given to the economic and psychological impacts of technological advancement on the industrial communities across the nation, and the resuUing legislation by the various states to provide necessary adjustments. The book also describes the steps Europeans are taking to deal with the social and economic consequences of the technological boom.
As a result of their study the authors conclude that industry must solicit the cooperation of management, unions, local communities, and state and federal government units if it is to realize the potentials and avoid the pitfalls of the technological revolution.
The distinguished contributors include Jack Barbash, Walter Buckingham, Charles C. Killingsworth, Sar A. Levitán, Bertil Olsson, Harold L. Sheppard, Philip Taft, Arnold R. Weber, and Edwin Young.
