Research so far suggests that the internet could fundamentally change the way unions operate, providing unions with the potential to develop individual representation and customised services. A study of a local labour market dominated by new economy employment; of interest given that unions have tended to be absent from this sector. CEP research in this field: Diamond, W. and R. B.
