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.

Yep, a fundamental misunderstanding by a union. Why not union criminals next? Or Unionize illegal immigrants?

What a stupid plan.

"Oh, wait, my shift's over..."
"Uh, I'm not supposed to do that. It's not in my job description."
"Be back in 15 minutes. It's breaktime."

And that's if your "worker" even decides to show up.
