The dot-com boom of the late 1990s marked the coming of age of the
much-heralded New Economy, an economic, technological, and social
transformation that was decades in the making. A highly mobile, and
in many cases highly compensated, workforce faces a multitude of
new risks: Jobs are no longer secure nor insulated from global
competition, employer-provided health benefits are drying up, and
retirement planning is almost entirely the responsibility of
employees themselves.This timely book examines the challenges
facing high-tech workers and other professionals and the relevance
of these struggles for the future of the economy. Written by
leading experts, Surviving the New Economy shows how people working
in technology industries are addressing their concerns via both
traditional collective bargaining and through innovative actions.
Using case studies from the United States and abroad, the authors
in this collection examine how highly skilled workers are surviving
in a global economy in which the rules have changed-and how they
are reshaping their workplaces in the process.
