Microelectronics, Automation and Employment in the Automobile Industry
New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1987. Hard Cover. Very Good/No DJ. 8vo 0471914843 Boards. 203pp Prepared for the International Labour Office. xix, 203 pages clean and tight. Edited by Susumu Watanabe, International Labour Office, Geneva. This volume of case studies reviews and assesses experience of microelectronics and automation in the automobile industry in eight countries (including the United States of America, Japan and Germany), identifies and fills gaps in our knowledge about the precise nature of the impact, both positive and negative, that new technologies are likely to have on employment. The main conclusion of the volume is that the belief in the 'enormously labour saving effects' of microelectronics is a myth, and that the effect of new technology has been largely confused with those of considerably intensified international competition and general rationalization programmes. The analysis of the interrelationship between work organization on the one hand and technology choice and its employment effects on the other, make the book both of interest and useful to practitioners and researchers in industrial economics, policy making, industrial relations and management.

Galley proofs of article 'lifted from the New York Times', giving 'a factual account of events that led up to the implementation of a policy that will effectively abolish the traditional methods of printing newspapers'.
[Circa 1974. From an unknown source. (For circulation among members of the English SOGAT and NGA print unions?] Six pages in double column and one page in single column, on seven leaves roughly 63 x 15.5 cm. Not entirely uniform: dimensions of type of first leaf approximately 50 x 10 cm; and of last (single-column) page roughly 56 x 5 cm. Clear and complete. On aged and folded high-aciditiy paper. Stapled, but with last leaf creased and detached from rest. The article is headed: 'This is a factual account of events that led up to the implementation of a policy that will effectively abolish the traditional methods of printing newspapers, with particular emphasis on the composing area. This article has been lifted from the New York Times and should be compulsory reading for all members engaged in the production of a newspaper.' Spelling (i.e. 'labour' rather than 'labor') indicates an English rather than an American source. The article begins 'For newspapers in strongly unionised metropolitan centres throughout the country, the trailblazing automation agreement ratified yesterday by union printers in this city provides assurance that the way is now open for a revolution in both technology and labour relations.' The article is of great interest in the light of the Wapping dispute of 1984 and other subsequent developments in the English newspaper industry. (One compositor is quoted as saying 'I'll stick to the Linotype. You'll never publish The Times with automation; I'll tell you that.') (Book ref. 8706) £95.00
