For such silence has become strident, and surrounds all the issues connected with the process of convergence.The columns which follow are part of the ILO’s efforts to ensure that the discussions which took place during the ILO Symposium onmultimedia convergence (27-29 January 1997) be addressed in further depth by experts who are close to workers’ everyday experiences of convergence.
