HIGH-TECH WILL HURT WOMEN, N.Y. Times, 9/19,
p.A19.  It has become a national credo: Economic
salvation lies in high-tech -computers,
microelectronics, satellite communications and
robotics.  Corporate leaders affirm it,
politicians promote it, the media popularize it.
But for wage-earning women - nearly half the
workforce - technological innovation means
diminished requirements for skills, reduced
opportunities for mobility, the loss of jobs and
greater vulnerability to union-busting.
