520			_aA review and synthesis of trade union theory as applied to the modern United States where more than two-thirds of the labor force already hold non-manufacturing employment this book is also a theoretical forecast of organized labor's ability to meet the challenge of postindustrial society. This forecast is relevant to other advanced democracies as they follow the American economic pattern. The labor movement, Dr. Schmidman argues, can adapt to an economy in which even fewer workers produce an ever-larger share of manufactured goods with a consequent shift to service, technical, and professional employment if unions maintain theoretical flexibility. Historically, trade unions have accommodated themselves economically and politically to rapid industrial change; the same theoretical principles of accommodation apply to postindustrialism.
