This project undertakes a qualitative study of Australian unionists' usage of networked computers and their potential for increasing trade union membership and participation, and promoting productive diversity in workplaces. At a time of declining unionisation, these issues have become urgent and give rise to key research questions about email and the Internet in trade union organisation and communication with members. The project promises to provide broader theoretical insights into union responses to deregulated labour markets and the globalisation of the economy. The results will be useful to other political and social organisations, as well as government policy makers.

该项目对澳大利亚工会会员使用联网计算机的情况及其在增加工会成员和参与以及促进工作场所生产多样性方面的潜力进行了定性研究。在工会化下降的时候，这些问题已经变得紧迫，并产生了关于电子邮件和互联网在工会组织和与会员沟通的关键研究问题。该项目有望提供更广泛的理论见解，工会对解除管制的劳动力市场和经济全球化的反应。研究结果将对其他政治和社会组织以及政府决策者有用。
