Just about everyone (not just Luddites) will tend to resist technology changes that reduce their job security. The Luddites specifically opposed the textile technology because it threatened their jobs. Characterizing someone as a Luddite because they oppose a technology which threatens their job seems entirely appropriate even if they haven't sworn an oath to the society. I'm not aware of a good word for people who oppose or resist technological changes in general. "technophobe" is inherently pejorative. Some writers are trying to use "Neo-Luddism", but adding modifiers to identifying names to make them identify something else does not lead to clarity.
