The Future of Work project grew out of an essay of the same title by Frithjof Bergmann, a philosophy professor at the University of Michigan. In spring 1983, Professor Bergmann and a colleague, Richard Gull, founded the Center for New Work of Flint in Michigan, where the problems besieging the U.S. auto industry were focusing attention on the changes in the U.S. labor market that would likely occur in the future. A videotape series on the future of work was begun in fall 1983, and in 1984 a series of workshops was developed to examine new forms of part-time entrepreneurship and alternative ways of organizing work. These lectures were given locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally. The Center for New Work of Flint sponsored a biweekly radio series entitled "New Work" that featured discussions of diverse aspects of work by labor leaders, workers, politicians, educators, academicians, and others. Some 40 programs have been produced. In addition, the Center successfully piloted a curriculum entitled "The Future of Work" during the 1986-1987 school year in the Flint Public Schools. The curriculum plan featured print learning modules, videotapes, and teacher inservice programs. Plans have been developed to improve the programs and disseminate them to a wider audience during the 1987-88 academic year. (MN)
