原文出处：

Automation（自动化） refers to the introduction of electronic control

（电子控制）

and automatic

operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production,

and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The

development of automation in American industry has been called the “Second Industrial

Revolution”.

Labour’s concern over automation arises from uncertainty about the effects on employment,

and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labour has taken the view that resistance to technical

change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase in employment,

since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and

repairing automation equipment. The interest of labour（劳动力） lies in bringing about the transition

（转型） with a minimum of inconvenience and distress（不幸） to the workers involved. Also, union

（工会） spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made

possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages（工资）, more

leisure, and improved living standards.

To protect the interests（利益） of their members in the era of automation, unions have adopted

a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit

plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest

in preventing unemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations（设备） so as

to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignment. Some unions are working for

dismissal（解雇） pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of

money based on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which

calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It is possible, however, that labour will

rely mainly on reduction in working time.
