  • Card 14 / 21:
    Do unions typically oppose new technology out of a fear that it will reduce the number of union jobs? Why or why not?

    Unions have sometimes opposed new technology out of a fear of losing jobs, but in other cases unions have helped to facilitate the introduction of new technology because unionized workers felt that the union was looking after their interests or that their higher skills meant that their jobs were essentially protected. And the new technologies meant increased productivity.
