>From Solinet: ========================== lounge95/jan #10, giacobboe, 944 chars, 4-JAN-95 18:13 -------------------------- TITLE: Information Superhighway Conference The Ontario Federation of Labour will hold a one-day conference on Thursday, March 2, 1995, on Unions and the Information Superhighway. The purpose of this conference is to tackle some tough questions on how new information technologies will impact on workers and unions. Will this technology accelerate the growth of homework and telework? How will skill requirements change? Will the information superhighway trigger job losses in sectors ranging from printing to clerical services to retail? Will it open up possibilities for tapping into entirely new fields of information to support organizing and bargaining? The conference is open to all members of OFL affiliates. If you would like more information, please contact the OFL Technology Adjustment Research Programme (TARP) Co-ordinator, John Anderson. He can be reached on Solinet at ofltarp or at 416-441- 2731.
