I found this article (http://www.utu.org/worksite/detail_news.cfm?ArticleID=37114) about the possibility of bloggers forming a union, and thought I'd post it should anyone be interested.
In a move that might make some people scratch their heads, a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers is trying to band together to form a labor union it hopes will help members receive health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards.
The effort is an extension of the blogosphere's growing power and presence, especially within the political realm, and for many, evokes memories of the early labor organization of freelance writers in the 1980s.
Mods, if you believe this belongs in politics, feel free to move it there.
