At the Jan. 30 general meeting the coalition struck a committee to deal with technological change in the Nanaimo area. At the Jan. 30 meeting, International Woodworkers member Joe Lychak warned of the disastrous effect on employment the introduction of new techniques, such as laser technology, will have in the forest industry. Nanaimo-Port Alberni MP Ted Miller pointed out how automation has already displaced hundreds of fishery workers.

Their film clearly showed the dangers of leaving control of micro-chip technology in the hands of the multinational corporations: loss of control of the workplace by workers and the continued segregation and isolation among workers, as well as massive unemployment and devastating environmental impact. The film also noted how women in offices are particu- larly victimized. The committee met Feb. 1 to formulate positions for the consideration of the coa- lition’s steering committee. The tech change group has six members from local trade unions and community organiza- tions, but is open to new memberes and will become a permanent standing com- mittee of the coalition.
