Abstract
Ongoing efforts by the AFL-CIO and its 66 affiliates to maximize their creative use of computer power may help slow, and maybe reverse, labor's decline in union density. Computerization makes possible certain distinctive reforms vital is labor is to soon improve its renewal chances. Computerization makes possible wide-scale communications of dazzling speed and enormous outreach. Although insufficient in and of itself to rescue labor, computer power raises fresh hope that ensuing gains in efficiency and effectiveness may help attract new members. Four key aspects of internal affairs appear significantly changed by labor's use of computer power: alliance-building, communicating, organizing, and staff developing.
