It's interesting to note that banks, councils and utility companies are in a mad dash for a paperless environment too. The ATCO's union (which supported the move of over 100 people to Ayrshire to boost the local economy), has also, I believe, without consultation, introduced paperless salary information.
On the Ayrshire coast there is a paper-mill about the size of Melton Mowbray. This facility provides employment, as do the forestry and logging industries which supply it.
Have the supporters of the 'paperless workplace' given any thought to the re-employment of forestry and logging folk, and those engaged in the production of paper?
Oh and the lorry-drivers who move all this stuff about.
