Pre-Owned Office Politics: Computers, Labor, and the Fight for Safety and Health (Hardcover) by Vernon Mogensen

As office workers sought to protect themselves against new occupational health and safety problems, they found little help from organized labor, business, or the government. Office Politics is the first book to explain why. It shows how corporate interests successfully redefined the VDT health and safety crisis as a "comfort" problem, how the government refused to collect data on the true scope of VDT-related illnesses or to regulate Information Age industries, and how labor unions ignored women workers. Office Politics is key reading for everyone who works at a computer. It will be of special interest to students, academics, and professionals in political science, sociology, occupational and environmental health, business, labor and management issues, women's studies, computing, and public policy.
