The major emphasis of this effort was the planning and establishment of an active network for acquiring and processing energy/labor data into information for dissemination within DOE and to the energy/labor market of DOE Region IV. The network is designed to provide DOE with a feedback system, encourage labor participation in DOE policy development, and allow the assessment of labor response. Following the introductory chapter, Chapter II, DOE Region IV Energy/Labor Communications Network, explains what was accomplished (the energy/labor communications network was developed and put into operation) and the mechanisms involved. Chapter III, Articulation of Energy/Labor Issues, identifies many of the network elements and participants involved in the Power plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act Impact Assessment, the Florida Energy/Labor Forum, and interview sessions. Functions, procedures and responsibilities are discussed and good insight can be gained regarding the results and value of such programs. Chapter IV, Network Development, explains how Vachon, Nix and Associates (VNA) accomplished the development and operation of the energy/labor communications network. This chapter explains VNA's use of the Systematic-Approach in the Development of Institutional Relations with the Labor Community. Chapter V, Conclusions, presents several different conclusions of an on-going effort for the network operation. (MCW)
