3: Technical Change
Introduced by GEOFFREY STUTTARD Extra-Mural Tutor.
University of London
Everyone has heard of automation, but technical change in industry is altering the actual products as well. Baths used to be made of cast-iron-they may soon be made of a plastic compound. Dining tables used to be made of wood-in future they may be made of chip-board with a photograph of wood on top. How do these changes affect the Trade Unions? Is it just a case of simply getting rid of demarcation disputes?
