Dimensions of the technological diffusion at the bank sector, work division and syndical action

Abstract

The aim of this article is to briefly analyze the technological innovations implemented in the context of productive changes in the banking sector, looking into their effects on workers' activities. The purpose of this analytical approach is to understand the current social relations on the various dimensions of technological diffusion, understood beyond economic pragmatism. In order to do that, we highlight the impact of the new forms of division of labor and the new and intensified labor control regimes that took place in te sector. At last, we take a look at the trade union responses in this context.
