Author Topic: NEED HELP! College assingment. Tom Petrov Five Guys Lover Posts: 1121 From: El Paso, TX Registered: Jan 2003 posted 01-29-2004 04:55 PM                    Hi everybody. I don't post often but I need some help from all members on the board. I am cvurrently in the process of writing a college assingment on the nature of paid work. I discussed the topic with my prof and he thought it was a great idea to do an assingment on the history of film projection employment. Key ideas to the assingment will be the evolution of the job, wage payments, union representation and technological advances. I need everyone's help. If you can provide some information as the year the first union emerged, the technolgical advances like the birth of automation and platter systems and even average wage at certain times. If you can please add in to the chart below. THANKS EVERYONE. Pre 1950's What were the wages. New technologies. Hazards and dangers. Any other interesting info. 1950 - 1970 What were the wages.
