Women in the Eighties. Part 3: New Technology in Sweden

Subtitle
New technology in Sweden
Synopsis
Looks at the impact of new technology on women’s work in large organisations and the ways in which women working within unions or organised groups are fighting to protect jobs in the secretarial and clerical grades. Their objective is not a negative one but rather to get both management and unions to rethink the technology in more positive and human terms which will reflect the values and priorities which these women see in their work.
