NUGMY fears antematien.

The agenda for the annual conference in June of Britain's third largest union, the 800,000 atrone National Union of General and hiunicipal Workers, reflects fear of the possible consequence of Automation. Sutton Oak refers to the spread of shift working due to automation and proposes a special committee to investigate "the difficulties that shift workers will meet in an affluent society." Glasgow and Northwich suggest that a shorter working week would help ease the problem. There is also a resolution on the extension of engineering threeeshift working. Clydebank refers to its effect on the workers' social and family life, and says that "the social services ans agenities cust be brought into line with theses chanzing conditions", and that the present eazresment on three-shift payment must be revised.
