Abstract
Innovations in the use of computer power may offer the American labor movement an opportunity to reverse a 50-year decline. Progressive unions and locals have been experimenting with computer technology, and a “CyberGain” model today commands respect in and outside of Labor. While indispensable, the model appears insufficient. A case is made for adopting a radically new approach, a CyberUnion model, whose four components (futuristics, innovations, services and traditions) appear relevant to technological modernization efforts by labor organizations and many other types of bureaucracies.
