Virtual "Strike" Against IBM
This from Gregory Sholette, gregorysholette.com:
Virtual strikes, virtual unions: Italian IBM workers make history
IBM employees in Italy made headlines around the world this week (reported on LabourStart) when they announced their intention to carry out a "virtual strike" inside "Second Life". They are being supported by Union Network International, which is inviting all of us to participate in this unprecedented action. You are all encouraged to set up free accounts at SecondLife, and next week, to receive virtual "strike kits" from the union. UNI has helpfully provided details of how to get started using Second Life. Training courses within Second Life will take place from 9:00 to 21:00 (Italy time) on 12 September at UNI's virtual house on Commonwealth Island inside Second Life.
