   I don't like unions....one voice for a company of individuals? Don't like it....give your money to me and I will tell you to try harder and stop whining....Corp. America is big enough to find a better job and we don't have [in mainstream] sweatshops anymore. Oh, and yeah, you never get paid enough.....
   Get a .union? Nah
   Get a .welfare and a .drunk first.

   Wow. What an uninformed and gross generalization. Is there a reason you don't like unions other than you seem to think it's whining? Unions can have a very valuable place in society and have done a lot of good in the history of this country. Admittedly, they've gone through some bad patches and corruption, but there is still plenty of good that they can do.

   Uninformed? Doubt it....as it [unions] have had their place and have done great in history....it is that, history. We do not need them anymore [like afermative action etc]. Other reasons I don't like them is the whole 'start silent' techniquie. I have been scouted out as one to 'break into' a company to start a union. I have been on both sides.

   Unionization efforts at "dot.coms"

   A great way to get news on what unionization efforts there are at and for "dot.com" workers is to try these two websites:
   
   www.labourstart.org
   and
   www.labourstart.org/usa for US specific info
   
   as well as trying
   
   www.yahoo.com
   
   and plugging in "labor" and seeing what news articles appear at the top of the search respopnse list, and then doing the same, after perusing the articles, with "union" and then the same with "workers."
   
   You'd be amased what you'll find.
   
   The AFL-CIO website as well as
   
   www.workingfamilies.com
   
   as well as
   
   www.workingforchange.com
   
   are all places with worthwhile information.
   
   Please let me know if the above is helpful.
   And feel free to share it with others!
