EPW Notes "When Technology Trumps Labour: Trade Union Leadership and Banks" by Shashi Kant Prasad

EPW Notes 
"When Technology Trumps Labour: Trade Union Leadership and Banks" 
by Shashi Kant Prasad
EPW, L(20): 84-87, May 16, 2015
Abstract: The capacity of trade unions to bargain or challenge technological change in the workplace has been a crucial aspect of the debate around machine-worker dialectics, which is a neglected area of research in India. Studying bank unions' struggles over technological choice and their implications on work routines, this note seeks to revise the otherwise optimistic narrative about Indian trade unions and their relationship with technology.
