Bloggers Want to Unionize

Bloggers are on our radar screen right now for approaching and recruiting into the union," said Gerry Colby, president of the National Writers Union, a local of the United Auto Workers. "We're trying to develop strategies to reach bloggers and encourage them to join."
Wait...the UAW is over the National Writers Union? That makes a lot of sense.

Anyway, I hope these guys do unionize, they could use the economics lesson. In order for a union to be effective, it must monopolize something of value. Last time I checked, most blogs were free to read and their writers were not getting paid.
