ILRLR 4065
Technology's Uneven Impact Upon our Workplaces: A Critical View

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

This course uses historic examples of mechanization of unionized workplaces (coal mining and west coast docks- what happened then) and current  technologizing of industries, union and non-union (transportation, public education- what is happening now) to critically determine why these developments face resistance from certain societal forces. Throughout, the course seeks to build a political/philosophical  framework to analyze the tough questions presented, including, the Right and Left thinking that perhaps a Universal Basic Income will solve the dislocation technology causes working families.

When Offered Fall.

Permission Note Not open to freshmen without permisson.
