  2. In 1976 on their congress, they accepted a actionprogram. The name was "företagsdemokrati och data".
  3. They have a positive way of looking on computer and new technology as well.
  4. It is important for Sweden to find some models so the industry can increase their competitiveness and a chance to improve the working environment and so on because of computerizing in the industry.

TCO

  1. At the congress in 1982 a decision was taken that two person were to be employed. Their job should be on the highest level in the TCO, only to handle TCO:s computer politic .
  2. If the computer technology is jousted in right ways, the computer technology will give us new and safer jobs.

SACO/SR

  1. Before the congress in 1979, SACO/SR they had a rapport made for them. The title on that rapport was"Datapolitisk rapport".
  2. In the debate around computers, SACO/SR had played a very small part and the reason was that their members have not been computerized in any larger amount.
  3. One thing that they think is very important for their members are the working environment for the members of SACO/SR.

SAF

They have not taken any official decision in what should be there opinion in computer politic. To find anything Mats Bäck had to listen and read specific statements from members of SAF. Computers do not need any politic just for computers and computerizing it should be treated as normal business maters. The only support the industry need from the government is education. Systemdevelopment must be in close relation to the enduser.
